Whether you enjoy it, or whether you endure it.
Whether you are with the people you love, or whether you are with your family. (Or indeed, with a happy combination of both.)
Whether you are at home, or if you have no home,
whether you are feasting or whether you are fasting.
Whether you have or whether you have not.
My limited understanding of the christian theology of these coming days, is that they contain a message of hope. Not a misplaced or naive optimism, but hope.
That conviction, contained within ourselves, that it doesn't have to be like this.
Our present days are dark.
But "brexit" and "austerity" are only words. And we can choose what they mean.
I look at the fortitude of my brother. If words meant what he was told they meant in August, he would be dead. He is not.
Accept nothing. Challenge everything. And stir yourself to change.
(Doing so of course, does quite wear one out.
And that my dears, is why we have holidays.)
Once again,
Merry Christmas,
Love Seb x
