Celebrating Messiah’s birth,
or family time for relaxation,
jollity and mirth
– but will excess bring weariness,
fractiousness,
and dearth
of cash and joy in January?

There's something sanguine and apt about "jollity and mirth". The season defined in many ways. Have a great Christmas, Rhiannon. Paul :)

Thank you, Paul. And thank you too for all your reading and commenting and encouraging. And I hope you too have a happy Christmas time.

I think I was realising, as I think Jenny commented on your story, we want a happy time with peace not frictions being stirred.. Rhiannon

That's a good question. Reminds me of when I got a salary never mind a bonus. "Life is feast or famine, why should we examine, Famine more than Feast?" that's from Fiddler on the roof.

Cheers keep well! Tom

Thank you, Tom. I hope you can have happy times, with some celebrations, without feeling you've gone to excess and regret, or just feel overdone, spoiling the time!. Rhiannon
