even everything is not everything

As December 25th approaches I'm hearing that it's beginning to look a lot more like Christmas??!!

I'm not quite convinced, but then I suppose it depends on what Christmas is supposed to 'look like'??

If its supposed to look like,more extravagant gifts, more excessive giving,more abundance of food and more alcohol, then perhaps for the minority of the world it is indeed beginning  to 'look a lot  more like Christmas'?

So what of the 'others', those facing more loneliness, more suffering, more hunger, more war and so on?
What of them?

Perhaps we all need more, more Peace, more Hope,and more Joy?????

Imagine this: it's possible to have less stuff and have more life as its supposed to be for all!!!

Now that looks more like Christmas!!
