5235 - Eve of Consumption

It’s Christmas Eve, and it’s true normally 
The following day is one of mass eating 
And drinking, but not this year, nosirree
It’s looking more like I’ll be abstaining 
Can’t believe it but actually feeling 
Not sad but proud that all I have are snacks
And soft drinks, and I think that I’m going 
To bed soon, sober and naturally relaxed 
Refreshing change from habits that have grasped
And tightened round my throat for seemingly 
Always, always weekends, often middling 
Days of the week. Alone but this hard task
Strange dream, utter impossibility 
Is real, Christmas is great without drinking!
