And it is true, as we age, perhaps we become much more pratical, cynical, and perhaps even bitter. where sitting around the looming christmas tree, the only light piercing the shrouding gloom in the darkening evening, providing a symbol of hope, and faith in better times yet to come. A day of christmas lights, of raindrops tapping on my windowsill, of the cool damp smell of the rain as it breezes through the open windows. While christmas used to be the festive season and occasion which i had always looked forward to and greatly anticipated as a child. And whilst our countries, irregardless where we are from, are in constant strife to eliminate or allievate it, is somewhat impossible to do so with the ever growing gap between the rich and the poor, the ever shrinking economy and with the now, somewhat daunting times ahead of us, the financial collapse of major firms, the worldwide spread of recession, indeed many would not be celebrating a merry christmas.

We live in a world where poverty prevails.

I would like to say, that not everyone, despite how much they would like or desire to celebrate a merry christmas, would be blessed enough to have have a merry christmas. Whilst i'd like to wish everyone, anyone, whoever you may be, wherever you may be, a very merry christmas.
