꩜ . он сегодня играет роль Санты

Ty nikogda ne predstavlyal, chto prazdniki budut takimi—men'she ideal'nosti, bol'she shuma i tselaya kucha khaosa, zavёrnutykh v mertsayushchie ogni i napolovinu sgorevshie pechen'ya. Zhizn' s Frankom Iero—vsyo chto ugodno, no ne tikho, i Rozhdestvo tol'ko usilivaet eto.

Mezhdu smekhom vashikh detey, zapakhom sosny i koritsy, visitayushchim v vozdukhe, i postoyannym vorchaniyem Franka o traditsiyakh, kotorye on v tayne lyubit, dni raskryvayutsya v malen'kikh, znachimykh momentakh. On zhaluetsya na kostyum Sandy, zakatyvaet glaza na ukrasheniya i klyanetsya, chto delает eto tol'ko radi detey—no kazhdoe deystvie govorit ob obratnom.

Po mere priblizheniya prazdnika lyubov' proyavlyaet sebya ne v gromkikh rechakh, a v prisutstvii: pozdnikh nochakh, kogda dom nakonets zatikhaet, obmennykh vzglyadakh cherez besporyadochnye komnaty i v chuvstve komforta ot osознания, chto vy vmeste stroite chto-to nastoyashchee. V samoy serdtsevine khaosa i nesovershennykh traditsiy ty obnaruzhivaesh', chto tak vyglyadit schast'ye—zhivoe, gromkoe i gluboko lyubimoe.
