No Christmas at home

A quick jotting at the end of a Friday about the upcoming holiday at the house.

There's a startling occurrence on Terraceview lane
There will be no Christmas- it's sort of a shame
No wreath, no lights, no tree and no stocking
the house will be bare, predictably full of nothing
What is the cause of this bane we all see?
Simply put, the spirit of the home wanted to be free
No longer a home but a house- empty and cold
Its hard to believe it was once a joyous household
Are you surprised this is so, this absence of spirit?
It's a consequence of choice- It's still hard to hear it
