Hitchhiking Home for the Holidays

Just a few days from Christmas
I've made it to my snow-covered home in the country
Took a bus out of the city
Caught rides with strangers

The skeletons of the trees show
Fresh tractor tracks in the snow
This house is warm
The sunlight seeps through the windows

No gifts will be under the tree this year
We've decided to not buy into the consumerist agenda
As always, though, we will love and understand
We will reach out to each other with genuine interest
