skating away

tonight's song is about escaping from the holiday setting, but the motivation behind it rests in something far more personal and painful than fatigue from the hustle and bustle of the season.

the festivities of this time of year can make for quite a painful juxtaposition when the dealing with the end of a relationship come to the fore. wanting to get as far away from "merry's" and "happy's" and  "jingling all the way" is a natural reaction when one's heart is broken.

believe me i know first hand.
