Christmas Day

Of course, we hit the movies –
To New Yorkers, that’s not news,
For Christmas Day means cinema
For atheists and Jews.

No gifts to open, tree to trim
Or meal with ham or goose,
We fill the time with brand-new films,
As you by now deduce.

The city’s quiet; stores are closed
Except the local delis
And certain restaurants (like Thai)
Are there to fill our bellies.

We all can smile on Christmas
For the movies, meals or gifts
Combine to make a day
That universally uplifts.
