Wishing You a Merry Christmas

Wishing You a Merry ChristmasFor many people in the inner northern suburbs of Perth, Christmas means a few days off, a few too many shandies, and maybe a few presents.

Walking around the Stirling Shopping centre, there has been some attempt at Christmas decorations by centre management. A few stores have the token Christmas tinsel draped across the ailes, or around the cash registry. But where is the “heart” of Christmas.

Has “political correctness” overshadowed the Christmas Spirit? Commercialism has certainly taken over for many. Gosh! The muslims may be offended if there’s too much “Christmas Cheer” - Well, actually, not if you go to Dubai! You’ll see a heap more Christmas decorations and evidence of Christmas Spirit in Dubai than you will in Robina this year.

Perhaps it’s just apathy. Let’s just blame it on the world financial crisis shall we? Hark! The Herald Angels Sing, Glory to the NewBorn King

God Bless you Merry Gentlemen,
God bless the Master of this house
And Mis-ter-ess also;
God bless the little children
That round the table go;
God bless their friends and kindred,
That come from far and near;
May the Lord send a happy New Year,
Happy New Year,
May the Lord send a happy New Year.
