My first posting in my first ever blog. Its Christmas !. People around the world are supposed to be Merry; happy and slightly intoxicated.. I am slightly happy and not intoxicated. Can't take alcochol any more, its tiresome. And by the way, so is commercial christmas. I used to be a strong opponet of christmas, however, I have had a change of heart on that.. Any opportunity that would get some cheer, real or imaginary, into people's hearts, stops conflicts, allows space for reflection and yes prayer, is a good thing.
I do however like to vote Westminister City Council as the collective scrooge they are. I read on the BBC news site that they have voted to abolish soup kitchens in their borough because its unsightly never mind the needy. Here is a discussion on the beeb if you are interested
