A Comedy of Christmas Tragedies

by Rich Melheim

Her father's a grump.

Her kids won't stop fighting.

Her husband's in the closet closing business deals on his cell phone.

Her brother's latest fiancé is a flake.

Her future nephew is seriously dangerous.

Her "Martha Stewart" mother died a month ago on Thanksgiving day.

The cat is choking on the tinsel.

And Jana is supposed to magically put it all together and put on a Christmas just like mama used to do to make it all better.

Yeah. Right.
