III: 062 not-quite into the holidays yet
furious - 
that godless salesgirl said
“Happy Holidays!”
[for Steve Bainbridge]
married a decade
she hides
the mistletoe
married a decade
he buys new mistletoe
for the office
setting up the creche – 
the Baby’s name
uttered over and over
empty punchbowl:
husband and wife
avoid the mistletoewrapping and
packing–
she pastes on a smile
“easy to assemble”
I put it back and
grab a teddybear
twelve days ’til Christmas –
the tree and the cat
both shedding
....................................... and even (gasp) a tell-em:
single at Christmas
not enough to-do
to do

We do not have traditions of using mistletoe for Christmas decorations but regardless of that I felt Christmas approaching after reading your haiku :)
Hi, Ricardas. There's never any mistletoe when you want it. I'm glad my Grinchy attitude didn't prevent you from having feeling the coming Yule.
