I’m watching two robins boisterously fighting for a foothold over the birdbath and one bird gets shoved into the icy water.
I sigh. So boring.
They fly off and its empty again.
After some time the doorbell rings, startling me. I grab my biggest coat that covers everything and try to appear cool. I count to 12, open the door and wave thanks to the delivery man. Gathering up the packages, I bring them inside, arranging them by size. I smile in delight, awaiting an afternoon of opening gifts from far away warehouses, small businesses and distant lands.
