The current travesty...Naomi says it for me so well. The current travesty which is Christmas was no doubt founded on a pre-christian mid winter respite feast.<br />When the freezing darkness and shortage of food were forgotten for a day or so and as a reminder that the spring would come.<br />We seem to have returned to the dark bitterness of Christmas. As Naomi says nothing to do with peace nor equity around a manger of a child born without any possesions except the most precious the love of his parents. I envy her pilgrimage to a Buddhist country in December.Michael D. Breenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02993260064428749961noreply@blogger.com
