Thoughts of Christmas . . .
Thoughts Of Christmas
Last night, I went to see A Christmas Carol. We go every year. It’s our only real family tradition. The rest just isn’t ours . . . The production was good but I didn’t cry. As a writer that’s the first thing I learned to do. I can make people cry without even trying and so of course I had to analyze the production . . . And I know why, I know what needed to be done differently. This beautiful story has a nail down, something to bring it home. And it has to be used at the right time . . . They used more than once.
Everyone knows those words. Every time I hear them, they work their magic on me . . . Out of the mouth of the littlest angel come the words of a cripple boy. An angel fallen by luck, not through any thing he had done. And yet we feel his pain, the pain of a child that may not live to adulthood. Personally, I’ve know this pain. Last year, my son had CANCER. I felt the pain so big, so out of my control. This year by luck, he is CANCER-FREE, at least for now. And those words, they haunt me. Out of a cold winters wind, I hear tiny Tim whisper, God Bess Us Everyone . . .
And the chill comes, it flows down my spine. The tears, they well up in my eyes . . . And for a split second, I see all those that aren’t as lucky as me . . . And my tears they always flow. Bless them, bless you . . .
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and very Happy New Year.

Do'h! Ok! I must be a sitting target for these things as I'm still working on one. But considering it's you and that "Dreams Are Yours To Share" amongst friends, consider this your Christmas present! Even though it may come a little late!
Regards
Peter
Great to know that your son is Cancer-free this year :)
Merry Christmas to you too!
Hi! Your tagging of me is now out. I had to bend the rules a bit, but I hope you like it. All the Best for 2008. Regards Peter.
