'Christmas comes but once a year' and when it comes it brings - well, what does it bring? A lot of work, for one thing. Stores echo with the merry sound of cash registers. Some people deplore the 'commercialization of Christmas' but at least it provides jobs for people.And much of the activity is dedicated to getting goods as gifts for OTHERS.
Christmas brings shoals of greeting cards and contact with friends and relatives from whom we may receive no other word. That is good! For kids (and parents?) Santa brings joy. This is a time for family gatherings and they should be welcomed.So three cheers for the yuletide season!
Centuries ago there was a bill before the British parliament to ban Christmas but thankfully it is not on the statute book and so Christmas is something we can all enjoy.So lets all do just that!
