Why Today?

I understand that all couples fight, they all have their differences… by why on Christmas Eve?

The day was quiet, filled with relaxation and serenity. When the woman of the household comes home. For the first few minutes the house remains tranquil, until a trivial issue presents itself. How the iPod plugs into the new car stereo.

Shutting myself in this prison of a bedroom and turning the music up loud is the only way to escape this world…
