A Christmas Story

                                                 A Short Christmas Story - very short      Published Dec. 24 2010 - Newport Beach Independent
                  
                                          So This is Christmas,
                                         And, What Have you Done,
                                              Another Year Over,
                                          And a New One Begun
 
I think about 'What Have I Done'!? No other pop song makes me think about the philosophy 
  of Christmas Season and the religious implications.  I should listen to this song more.
              Like Valentines Day and Thanksgiving. Possibly a few other days.
 
                                   Merry, Merry Christmas
                                   And, a Happy New Year,
                                        Let's Hope It's a Good One,
                                           With Love and no Fear
 
 
              That is my wish for all those I know and all those I have failed to know.

              Lightfoot Letters

 

                                     The words may not be exactly as Lennon wrote them, but it is just a song...right?

grlittlewoth; Only a song but with some very, very meaningful words.

library expert; It's wonderful and so very appropriate.  At the end of my Xmas letter I wrote that "may 2011 learn from the past."  It's a start.

broadwayjane; Thanks...very well said...and Merry Christmas to you, too, and best wishes for a great new year!

futurewoman; Thanks.....yes I see your point, and once again it is profound.

newspap.editor; Thanks, that's one of my favorite songs. Happy Christmas.
