One More Good Year

. for public domain Noel lost its jingle and joy years ago. Embers on hearths have lost their warm glow, Christmases in Whales have come and gone, caroling more mute on a Holiday song. Everywhere War, and people are starving, life on this planet is worth half a farthing. AI and robots have taken our work. It seems that the whole world is going berserk. But the air is still crisp, a Star is still bright, and Hope in our hearts carries on through the Night. Wise souls search for stories to bring us good cheer to welcome the coming of one more good year.
