Let's get on with the story.Don't read it. You can't read
it when I'm gonna read it toyou. Sorry, Mom, It's okay.
Each year I watch you sleep,I like that you're still and breathing
(02:37):
and quiet, and it's a gameto keep you that way. Sometimes I'll
move closer, carefully, carefully,running a finger across your sleeve, touching
my tongue to your hair, lettingmy beard brush your for your head if
(03:00):
I can. If I think youwon't wake, I'll open a drawer.
I'll press a thumb into the contentsand smile that you will wear my touch
unknowing on your bare skin. MaybeI'll open a closet. Maybe i'll move
(03:22):
something on the dresser just a little. Maybe you'll notice I like that you
might not the cookies I'll eat,because why not. I think about you
slumbering in the other room and lickthe crumbs from my fingers. I'll hold
(03:42):
the plate on my lap, letit rest there. Eventually I'll fill your
stocking. Each gift I'll handle carefullyand tenderly. I'll picture you in the
morning, finding what I've left.And sometimes I'll have to pause and catch
my breath. I'll think about thistime last year, and the year before.
(04:04):
Each year is better than the last. Before I leave, I take
a last look at you. Imight whisper to you. I might lean
close to your face and breathe hotinto your ear. Merry Christmas, see
you next year. Ho ho ho. And that's creepy. It was really
(04:40):
really weird. So like what yeah, so people do weird things. And

Why would you do that? Idon't know, but some people have an
obsession with Santa. Yeah, soit was published, dude, that's what
