Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. The theme for this week is Christmas, which is celebrated on December 25th.

A Christmas poem about how love survives the hassles
of Christmas:
Cheer is not what you'd expect from Christmas:
Headaches are more like it, lack of sleep,
Raw nerves, rough words, waits to make you weep,
Irritable hours, days, intense, relentless.
So much money, time, so many dreams
Tied to one quick wanton winter's morning,
More an orgy than a merry dawning,
A ritual divorced from what it means.
Still, each year the love within it gleams.
