The holidays are dreadful. He can’t stand the humid stench of the home of her parents, the cold and pale light of their den, nor the inevitable fruit cake on Christmas Eve. She hated his parents’ vegetarian menu and the pounding of his brothers’ and sisters’ shoes while dancing on the wooden platform of their back yard every New Years Eve. Both families contemplated with disdain: “what hybrid monsters will this couple, against all of nature’s laws, give birth if they are of centaur and mermaid?”
