Christmas

Like many of you, I love this special time. It saddens me when people say, “Oh, it is just like any other day”. As I’ve suggested before, even if you’ll be on your own, make it happy for yourself. Stay warm and cosy. Eat and drink your favourite things and watch programs you enjoy. If you love to read, keep some books at hand!

I’ve been fortunate to spend Christmas Day with others but I’ve been on my own on Boxing Day. The year that my husband died I drove back to the Port of Bormes
and found it deserted, There was absolutely no one about. I believe in guardian angels and know that mine are with me. If you want yours to be with you, you’ll never be alone! May I share this poem I’ve written about Christmas with you?


Tinsel time, lights are flashing
    Late night shopping, people dashing
    In the hectic hurly rush, do we stop to wonder
    Why a birth so long ago still produces thunder?
    Thunder of a swirling kind, waves of rainbow hue
    Rushing, spending, reeling, counting, not much left, it’s true,
    In this yearly Christmas spin as excitement spirals
    Is it for the children’s sake we plot and plan these marvels?
    I guess we’re all so young inside we need this warmth and show
    To melt the adult pomp and pride
    Give love a chance to glow.
    Love that began in Bethlehem, born in a lowly shed
    Still shapes our lives and paves the way to face the year ahead.
    So let’s enjoy each Christmas time
     Ignore the lust and greed.
     It’s caring for each other that fulfills our inner need.

I wish you a Very Happy Christmas!
Esmé
