Rhetorical Style
The rhetorical style is unusual and performative, employing a long, ironic poem ("Green Christmas") and humor. The tone is mixed with humor, at times fatalistic ("there are no white Christmases anymore"), and emphasizes emotional and cultural appeal. There is also some light, personal, and spontaneous interaction (such as asking for a bottle of water).
