'Twas the night before Christmas - Or Hanukkah or Kwanzaa or whatever religious holiday your family unit celebrates this time of year via retail purchases
And all through the house
Not a creature was stirring
Except Dad, who was stirring his third martini
As he attempted to assemble a toy for his nine-year old son, Bobby.
It was a highly complex toy
A toy that Dad did not even begin to grasp the purpose of
A toy that cost more than Dad's first car
A toy that was advertised relentlessly on TV with a statement in the corner of the TV screen that said, SOME ASSEMBLY REQUIRED
