I thought I'd pulled a cracker but I sat alone,under the mistletoe, waiting for Holly to show.
I listened in vain for the jingle of a WhatsApp. Perhaps she was stuck in the snow.
I'd double parked the reindeer and a traffic warden was eyeing my sleigh, so I gobbled my sad Christmas dinner and picked up my sack and the bill. Perhaps next year I'll phone Ivy and invite her instead.
