For those who celebrate, may I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. My photos are of some of the Christmas cards I made this year.
As seems to have become traditional on my Christmas post: here is the quote from one of my favourite Christmas carols, "It came upon the midnight clear", written by Edmund Sears in 1849.
"Yet with the woes of sin and strife
The world has suffered long;
Beneath the angel-strain have rolled
Two thousand years of wrong;
And man, at war with man, hears not
The love song which they bring;
O hush the noise, ye men of strife,
And hear the angels sing."
I wish the men of strife would hush and there could be some peace in the world.
To end on a positive, I quote from Desiderata (a 1927 prose poem by Max Ehrmann):
"...And whatever your labours and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy."
May I wish you a happy, healthy and peaceful festive season.
