So that was Christmas

So that was Christmas and

what have you done

another year over, a new one just begun

and so that was Christmas

I hope you had fun

the near and the dear ones

the old and the young

a very Merry Christmas

and a Happy New Year

let's hope it's a good one

without any fear

John Lennon

I was reminded of this song at Julia's blog

~ over here in my house ~

~ there are only crumbs left on the plate ~

~ the wine is gone ~

~ what fun - what food - what presents ~

~ that beautiful cake dome is one of them ~

~ nice huh? ~

~ lucky me huh? ~

~ it rained and rained ~

~ these two found shelter in the porch ~

~ we can't get to town ~

~ this little green chap is happy ~

~ and noisy ~

~ last evening we spotted a break in the clouds ~

~ so far today no rain.... but there is no sunshine either ~

~ all around us we hear of people being evacuated from their homes ~

~ others have spent their whole Christmas cleaning up .... and again... and then again ~

~ in the west they are having a heat wave and watching out for bushfires ~

~ friends in far places are snowbound ~

~ so I know we are very lucky really ~

~ I wonder if our luck will hold - maybe we will win the cricket? ~

~ Oh ~

~ Does anybody remember the travelling goats? ~

~ well, one arrived at my house ~

~ bearing gifts ~

~ I'll show you next time ~

~ keep safe where ever you are ~ 

~ keep happy ~

~ tommorrow the sun will rise again ~

(even if you can't see it)
