The next week, the guy starts another Happy Holidays Blog.
He begins with the designs that'll go with each paragraph, when his mother stomped up into the dining room and shouts, "What are you doing?!". He looks up "My Christmas Blog thing: but I'm doing other Holidays too, like this one's about Hanu..". She interrupts "We're suppose to be helping out with the shopping! Stop wasting time and hurry up!". He gets up angrily and puts on his coat...
Later, the family rides out to a store in his uncle's truck... "I don't why we're helping him shop... It's not like we'll get what we want too AND we hafta pay him gas money!" He looks at the few decorations set up around the city... "I wish we could put up stuff too..technically we have a string of lights, but that's it: and even then...". He looks at the sky... "I wish I could have them in my room, too. Or even one of those projectors: but there's no place for lights, and I share the room with my siblings so I probably can't..", they stop at a Aldee's...
Inside, everybody splits up... The man himself looks around and sees other older people VERY slowly looking for food... "Shit, how come nobody around my age is in here? Wait, what am I saying?.. I'm probably the only 20 somethin' year old still livin' with his parents, at least here...". He then goes to the freezer and smirks at the Coffee-Creamers! "Mmmmm... I probably shouldn't keep drinking pure sugar, but it's delicious!!! Letsee; more mocha? How about hazel? Or what about pumpkin spice?.." The man thought with utter happiness!
"Get over here!" his mother suddenly calls, "Hurry up!". He runs to her... "Get this outta the freezer!" she commands him. He reached for a frozen-dinner and barely pulls it out, before she snatches it out of his hands and walks away... "Fuck, why does she act like I did something wrong? I was literally obedient as a freaking dog!" he thought, then walks back to the creamer. A few minutes later, his back shivers... "What the hell...?!!! `spidey sense' tingling` should I go check up on them?" the man thought as he feels a sense fear loom over him..he then runs to the cashier and see his family already leaving!!!!? "They were gonna leave me stranded?! Good thing I checked!", he runs by the group... His mother seems somewhat annoyed as he gets in the car with them..
That night, he played his handheld in his room, as the one strings of lights flashed on and off. The dark room has a creepy (mostly red) glow, like a scene in a horror movie...then the dad came home shouting "Hey boy!" The son quickly jumps up with a violent jump... "Listen, when you take out trash, MAKE SURE you get EVERYTHING: You hear me?!!!" his old man screamed. He simply replies "Yes sir", as his dad points angrily outside at a piece of toilet paper in the darkness... the Son goes out to get it... His mother runs to the door before he could near it "Hey, don't go out in the cold like that: you could catch pneumonia and give it to us!", he walks back in to get his coat, and heard his parents fussing over what order should he do! Then his mother comes back to the room "Get it tomorrow!" she screamed, ...the man, confused: goes back to bed and continued playing until it got much later/colder. Now the dad returned back into the room "Get out there and get that paper...". The son gets up to put on his coat, but his dad yells "NOW!!!!". So he runs out in the freezing-cold in his skivvies to put it away... Then comes back in shivering, but smiles as he noticed the lights in contrast to just being in out in the sheer black darkness.. "At least these always makes me happy!" he thought.. until his parents yelled from the master bedroom: "Turn those off: they cost too much to even have up in the first place!". He sighs and unplugs the their only decoration; a single string of Christmas lights...
