Fleeting short story idea for christmas eve: an expatriate, bedridden in a foreign land which speaks his mother's mother tongue, struggling to compose a non-denominational text for his estranged children's mother...

...who speaks to him no more because of the massive layoff some years ago, not unlike the present layoff which leaves him acquainted with a few too many alcohols and pills...

...which he can no longer afford since last christmas when he bailed his son out of the slammer for a prolonged stay in a country which sees him as a freeloader; a hardworking freeloader, that is.

He can forget the severe hunger while thinking of the first word for the text, at least.
