Christmas is...
An alternative metaphor for that well-known festival...
Rated:

Christmas is like...

A railway train carriage
Never quite arriving at the scheduled time,
Far more complicated than it need be,
Crowded.
Filled with crimson-suited
Cola-sponsored philanthropists,
Grinning, frosty snowmen
And a menagerie of walking, talking animals;
All so preoccupied with what to buy and what to wear,

That

No one notices

Jesus got off
at the last stop.
