Well Christmas Day is upon us again, I guess we are all in festive mood and enjoying time with family and friends – I hope that is the case. However, some will undoubtedly spend this day by themselves – for whatever reason – so it may be more a day to be endured without any sharing or celebration.
Going without at Christmas
Going without is terrible!
especially at Christmas
just imagine –
no presents to open
no turkey in the oven
and no children laughing at the door!
But imagine,
without the Christmas gift –
there would be no Easter,
and without Easter
life would become just
a series of continual sparks
dying in a sea
of perpetual darkness.
… and here are some Christmas Day words from previous years in the form of the Haiku –
Christmas Day 2012
beneath the wrappings,
tinsel, and a turkey bone
Christ can still be found
and for the new generation man and woman …
beneath the wrappings,
tinsel, and a turkey bone
Christ can still be phoned
Christmas Day 2011
this one special day
continues to make each day
special for everyone
I hope everyone will get something special out of this day whatever their circumstances
All the best … Richard Scutter
