Christmas living alone

From Wikipedia
"Criswell married a former speakeasy dancer named Halo Meadows, who once appeared on You Bet Your Life, and whom Coulombe describes as "quite mad": "Mrs Criswell had a huge standard poodle (named "Buttercup") which she was convinced was the reincarnation of her cousin Thomas."

So . . . me and words. At 61 my neurological abundance (if that theory is correct), has pruned back a lot from earlier years, but I am much given to words, or rather words are much given to me.

Sometimes verses arrive as if ready formed, or come in three groups, or two groups then the last group has to be hammered out.

My brain sometimes tries to think of at least three things at once, and prefers five. Autistic people can speak in puns and jokes that only mean something to themselves (it feels better that way).

So my analysis of the words Happy Criswell.

Criswell sounds a little bit like the word Christ, and New Year is not Christmas, and Criswell is howlingly unlike Christ, so it is perfectly obvious to me, when words are much given to me, to call New Year's Eve Criswell. That is an example of rationality on Planet Alexanderplatz, at the time of the arrival of words.

In the depth of it, the word Criswell is close to the word Christ Well, or Christ's Well. Again, this reverberates ironically as Criswell was a total charlatan. From my reading of Literature there is also the significance of wells in play in my mind, something that cropped up in a film I recently watched, so that is in it as well.
