Festive Fright

During the hustle-bustle of this festive occasion of Christmas, it behooves us to find time to turn our hearts to God for the realization of perpetual peace. Until now what I thought was warm and holy, Like the welcoming glow of a campfire scene when a wisp of smoke spiraled up from the trees and the revelers danced around in a kaleidoscope of light and shadows, ended up for me so cold and hollow. The mass hysteria that characterizes the week before Christmas is like a chaotic classroom full of unsupervised hyper kids when the teacher had left to go take a phone call, A cacophony of deafening mixture of jumbled sounds as if it’s but a week ahead of the coming Apocalypse. ~11/27/22 ~Contest: Christmas ~Sponsor: Constance La France.
