Peace and joy

Dear Editor:

Why is it that people say “I hate to see Christmas come?” Has the very time for joy become a day of misery?

Trying to create a fantasy world, a place where everyone will be really happy is an impossibility. This absurdity has been fostered by advertising and so we allow fear to take control of us and love is lost.

Our beautiful desire to be loving  has been turned into a time of fear. But instead we can win over our fears by enjoying the only really true  meaning of this time of joy!

Giving of our love and not giving out of guilt,will bless both the giver and the receiver!

May God  reward you for all your loving endeavours with the peace and joy of this  season.
