Christmas 2009

Christmas -
A time of partying,
Giving presents,
Food and enjoyment,
Families and fun.

Christmas -
A time of loneliness,
Missing loved ones,
Going through the rituals,
Family tensions.

Christmas -
So different from,
The original - a time of hope,
Stars, angels and dreams,
Peace and goodwill.

Christmas 2009 -
Whether it be a time
Of loneliness or apprehension
Partying or fun
May it truly be a time
Of blessing and peace

How true Sailor.
I am a bit of a Chrisophile but have found the last 2 years the attitude is calmer and possibly more reserved than previously.A new perspective.

I know that I am grateful for every Christmas that I have now but the partying is less important and the time spent with family and friends seems much more precious and imperative.

Like Jill, peace, love and stregth is what it is all about now.
To those of you rejoicing give everyone extra hugs and to those of you struggling I send cyber hugs for Chrissy.

Thanks Sailor, as usual your wisdom is inspiring.

My wish for you, and all our fellow 'cyber' friends, may this Christmas be filled with love, peace and strength.

Jill
