A period of contrasts from sepia through to dazzling gold
A time of poignancy, reflection and joy
A religious celebration transposed into a season of gluttony and greed
A time of gift giving, family celebrations and gatherings
A time of arguements, marriage breakdowns and strife
A time of love, war and hate
Each facet sharpened because of the season
Poverty versus wealth
Loneliness versus family life
Love versus hate
Outlined in sharper contrast in a season of supposed joy
May the immutable values of Christmastime
Remain through the year
