Christmas Cheer

Christmas day, two thousand years on, what happened to peace and goodwill among men. Nothing has changed since the day it began when Herod tried hard to get rid of that man. A lifetime spent fighting to rid man of sin by spreading God’s word (though it never sunk in). To finally die, nailed up high on a cross, that proved to the world those with power are boss. We celebrate Christmas to show that we care for the goodwill of mankind that we’ll never share. For two thousand years has been ravaged with war there’s no living in peace, too much to fight for. But Christmas, I’m sure, is just part of the game to give us a break from a world full of pain. So when once again it is that time of year lets join in the charade and share Christmas Cheer.
