The season of GoodWill

Coming upon us.

The season

to have fun and laugher

and make good cheer.

An anticipation of family gathers. And seeing

members you have not seen

for a long time. Around a well-laden

Christmas table. In a nice cosy warm house.

Laugher and talking. Remembering

and enjoying. Sharing moments and maybe

even toasting long-forgotten loved ones.

And welcoming new souls just born.

Eating the festive meal. And relaxing afterwards.

As well as opening more gifts under the tree.

As well as listening to the "Queen's speech" on TV.

And watching the usual Christmas movies. They repeat

every year. 

As well as watching grandpa get merry with alcohol

and pass out on his favourite chair in your home.

As it was all too much for him.

The children are as high as kites. With the excitement

of the season.

The season of unabashed merriment. The scenes you conjure up, so many wrapped in the joy of childhood, are full of wonder and are wonderful. As grownups it would do us well to remember those happy, merry times. The songs we sang to gather in celebration. Though its' still a bit of a ways off, may everyone be able to look forward and enjoy this coming joyous time of year.
Enjoy - Dave

For the past few years, I cook a dinner for three. Oddly enough, it covers three generations, but we get to cover many mixes. Mother, son, niece, uncle, grandmother, and granddaughter makes the house feel more crowded. Even the dogs add a couple of generations. Early Holiday wishes to you, and yours!
