Re: Christmas message - lets keep them all in one place!
In the spirit of the season (and I take the point that spirit should last all year) I'm going against my better judgement and posting this. It's the only poem I've ever written, it was a few years ago now and I feel it represents those who don't really connect with the festivities. Enjoy, and season's greetings to all.
Christmas is a time of giving
Living well and loving living Joy and drinking all day long Listening to old Christmas songs Decorations, lights and holly Christmas is so very jolly Santa on his magic sleigh Dumping presents on his way Baby Jesus, Joseph, Mary All so jaded, ordinary Time to find a different tale This one seems so very stale Where’s the guns, excitement, dangers? Battles with the Texas Rangers? Stuff this message of goodwill I want blood and guts to spill! Alien landings, not damned mangers Red hot sex with total strangers! Mindless violence without end Christmas drives me round the bend! |

Real Christmas is found only in the heart. Today's celebration belongs not just to one religion, but all people. You are the gift you give and receive.-- Alan Cohen

Re: Christmas message - lets keep them all in one place!
I got to say I had a lousy Christmas. I hope the prophets are right and 2009 Christmas is cancelled.
Going to say, 2008 has been the worst year of my life, and after 2007 I thought it couldn't get any worse! |

Re: Christmas message - lets keep them all in one place!
I didn't get one single present. Sure its not the recieving but the giving that matters, but, it still hurts when yuo have nothing at all.
2006, 2007 and 2008? the three darkest years of my life. However, there are millions living out doors, without food and without a warm bed, so i really should stop my moaning; its just that misery is subjective to the experiencer - and some times we cannot see past our own experience and witness the massive positivity in our lives. I for one am sure a Brazilian street child would of loved my warm bed and food at the table today. I should in fact be very grateful. But i'm not. 2006/7/8 sucked. |

Re: Christmas message - lets keep them all in one place!
Yea Egg your right we should be grateful for what we have
It's the thought that counts, but that's what plsses me off, I put time and effort into buying what I thought were meaning full and good gifts for my sister and her kids and all I get in return are a pair of fecking slippers. Obviously loads of thought went in to that gem of a gift, I shall cherish them forever. It wouldn't be so bad but even my dad told me not to bother about presents this year, well bollocks to him I got him something futureyes maybe this year is the year of the slipper |

Re: Christmas message - lets keep them all in one place!
There is a Christmas message from Christopher Story on his website - www.worldreports.org. Not like his usual reports and took me very much by surprise. It was a joy to me to see this "other side" of Christopher Story, though I realise not everyone will see it that way. However, maybe we can all accept that there is a place to find hope in the present world situation (and our personal situations too).
From a very different area - Channel4 in Britain aired an "alternative Christmas message" (the Queen does the formal one) which was given in person by Iran's President -Arminijad (should have checked the spelling of this before I posted!). I found this very inspring as well. Basically he was saying how he felt Jesus Christ would act and be in our present world, for example, for justice and peace and against "occupiers and terrorists, against bullying and expansionists".(I paraphrase). All this said very quietly and reiterating his good wishes and goodwill. He was coming from the standpoint of a Moslem accepting Jesus Christ as a prophet, and it sounded genuine with his goodwill to all celebrating the birth of Jesus. The media (and I believe the government as well) have condemned Channel 4 for airing this. As far as what he said is concerned - he would be torn apart whatever he said. I had a strong feeling that most of the folk on this forum would agree with him! A final word - I do think Steve A's idea of giving a gift to a stranger is a great one. Perhaps we could all take it up next year. Best wishes to all |
