the arctic gusts of december nipped through my frostbit skin as i breathed the cold and exhaled the wintery fog of smoke. i was shivering underneath the flickering streetlights of the townʼs desolated park, mindlessly counting the snowflakes that had fell upon my reddish rudolph-like nose. trembling in the christmas eveʼs cryogenic breeze, i threw all my reluctant inhibitions away and played a classical song through my old cassette tape; i couldnʼt care less if i looked like a preposterous loner dancing the night away, shamelessly possessing a body of a stiff, rigid ballerina.

as claude debussyʼs musical piece resonated across the lonesome park, i have rolled a small snowball into the piles of snow and made my own snowman which i named olaf. unique, isn't he? there was a sudden rush of adrenaline, and i started throwing snowballs unto olaf and ran around, afraid that he would transcendentally move solely to take his revenge on a petty creature such as me.

once a little too tired of all the useless running, i basked onto a checkered blanket and opened my picnic basket as if it was some magical portal to heavenly-tasting foods. spacing out, i ate some winterberries, wintermelon, blueberry cheesecakes and a rock-hard bagel that i bought from a cheap bakery downtown. iʼm broke enough to afford a luxurious ham that looks like it was cooked by a five-star michelin chef from paris.

at precisely four oʼclock, with the frozen sun and its soft white rays peeking through the gloomy grey skies, i let myself succumb onto the thick blanket of snow and laughed relentlessly while creating snow angels. i took a crashed mistletoe inside my pocket, which i surreptitiously stole from that old womanʼs frontyard garden, and raised it abovehead, kissing my hand like the fool that i was.

december
does not need
two individuals
to celebrate its
winter season.
sometimes,
we only need
ourselves and the
peculiar warmth
brought by
solitude.

i may be alone, but i certainly am not lonely. although, i may look like a total fool, but who the hell cares?
