Expectations.

Another christmas time

and people put on their best faces.

Swear some shone.

Others?

Guess you know how people look

after a long hard year.

Anyway, let me tell you

about this guy who did his very best.

Let's call him L. .

Average guy, just another Loman, if you know what I mean.

One for whom a smile, even a tired one, was important.

As he drove home after a long working day - guess what - there's that well-shaven voice on the radio.

"Hey folks. Gettin into the Xmas mood?"

"Definitely not."

That's what L. wanted to say.

But no chance.

The voice just keeps talking on and on

almost hypnotically and - you know -

L. finds himself in the parking lot

of a supermarket and knows what to do.

He goes shopping.

First some storage boxes. Good to close.

Better safe than sorry.

Then perfume for his wife.

Gingerbread and candy for his kids.

A little something for everyone.

Walks the aisles to the sound of muzak.

Feels like dancing.

Lighter than he had in a long time.

Like in a dream or in - trance.

Eventually he buys himself an advent calendar. Big and expensive.

"Man's gadgets."

And a big cigar, he wanted to smoke right away.

He lights it just outside.

Enjoys the scent on his long way home

until it slowly dissipates.

Finally he sees the signs of his hometown.

Inviting houses. Well - some of them.

Pulls into the driveway. His house dark.

Remembers that his wife left him.

With the children.

Without a word.

Many things unsaid.

Silently he turns off the engine.

Gets out.

Opens the trunk. Looks inside.

"Things are not like they used to be."

He says. "Way Smaller. Cheaper.

Even the scent has gone."

He says.

"Guess next time

i gotta buy better

boxes... "
