Wishing You a Lovely Christmas Time.

 

Raindrops and roses.

and a snowman in winter,

laughter and kisses,

and reddened shy faces,

Mistletoes on wreaths 

are of gold-coloured tresses.

Gaily dressed lovers,

with sweet loving kisses,

Wishes of love

fill the room

with Christmassy glitters.

A joyous 

Momentous

Time of the year 

with the birth of a saviour,

Christmas is here.

Rejoice and be Glad,

Let peace and love reign in all hearts of men.

HAVE A BLESSED CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

A Christmas Tale For You.

Fruit cake and wine is a tradition in our family during Christmas celebrations. 

On Christmas Eve, we have an elaborate dinner prepared for the family. This is the only time, everyone sits around the Christmas tree and waits for the midnight chime of the clock to usher in Christmas and have that fruit cake with a glass of wine. While waiting we play a game of cards and have a merry time together. It is a special occasion to celebrate the birth of Christ.

I bake my cake early so that it tastes just right for Christmas.

Are you prepared for Christmas yet? Have you put up the decorations and got everything you need to make it as special as you can. You don't need to be rich to have a beautiful celebration. All you need is the love of the people around you and to care enough to love them back in return.

Christmas comes once a year. It is a time for sharing, caring, giving and not forgetting almsgiving. A time to be with your loved ones and enjoy the festivities together.

We exchange gifts and the party begins.

Have a great Advent season.

This Season of Advent - A Poem for Peace, May Goodness & Peace reign in all hearts.

From the Lips of a Child of War.

I thirst,

Deserted by war,

I long for peace.

Where is that promise,

to lay down arms,

And to build instead,

A world of calm.

A prayer is whispered,

For the child in me,

has now learned to fear

the future.

Not from the roars of the thunder,

Nor the storms of the seas,

But from within the hearts of cruelty,

I remain,

Steadfast with my longing for peace.
