Christmas Cards

Receiving one of those,’How great our family is doing’, cards from rich acquaintances, makes me vomit. No one in my family can even spell vacation…Its once again the holiday. I’m changing some film in a cheepo camera. Just as I set the new film, a slugfest breaks out between Tegan and her brother, Tejas over a video game. Its to the death…Tegan has height, reach, power, and a vicious kick to the groin as a finisher. Tejas? A close your eyes, swing from the floor brawler with no chin. I decide to let them work it out between themselves. I tell their brothers and sisters to make some popcorn. It could go a few rounds. At one point, just before the dramatic finish, I took some shots with the camera…On our X-mas cards, I put the best shot. Tegan, eyes wide open, is landing a right to Tejas’s jaw and a knee to the nuts. Tejas, eyes tightly shut, has his head popped back from the blow, but, has landed a left to Tegan’s belly. Both are in the air…
