Christmas
ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS A BETTER WORLD NEXT YEAR
SAFETY, PEACE, LIFE, LIBERTY,
THE THINGS I HOLD DEAR
LESS VIOLENCE, MORE CHEER
MORE FAITH, LESS FEAR
HOPE FOR THE MASSES
DREAMS COMING TRUE
HOPE FOR THOSE THAT FEEL HOPELESS
I KNOW SOME, DO YOU?
ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS A BETTER WORLD NEXT YEAR
LOVE, UNITY, COMPASSION AND JOY
MY WISHES, ARE THEY SELFISH, NOT FOR MATERIAL THINGS, OR WEALTH?
I’M THANKFUL NOW FOR SHELTER, FOOD, AND A PORTION OF GOOD HEALTH!
BEST WISHES FOR YOUR GOOD WANTS….. AS WE ANTICIPATE THE NEW YEAR!
A concerned citizen reports on a poor unloved Christmas tree just lying on the Commonwealth Avenue Mall:
Perfectly good Christmas Tree left on Comm. Ave Mall @ Hereford St. Been there over 12 hours. Its about a 9 footer. It was probably too big for someone's apartment and they just ditched it.
The scene this morning out the window of one of the holiday trolleys running up and down Centre and Spring streets in West Roxbury.
Johnmcboston asks:
Looking for unique gift for 2yo. Any fun/toy/kid stores left in Boston? Or is Target all we have?
Louise Miller watched the changing display on the Dartmouth Street side of the Copley Square main library tonight.
Merry Christmas!
Christmas……Don’t get caught up in the guilt of not having/spending enough $$$$$ for Presents and Gifts
If how much you spend, or buying what the persons “wants” determines your Merry Christmas....... stop, think about this; Materialism has bankrupted some people,
Some are on the way there, and some are recovering from it.
If anyone is not pleased with you changing your gift giving habits….. It’s on them.
