Behind the coloured lights of the Christmas tree
behind the family times
behind the Christmas feast and the laughter
the gifts and the excitement and the fun
(even behind the challenges of spending time
with people we find difficult
with people we find difficult
people who are lonely for a good reason
people we heartily wish were not in our family – but are)
quietly, eager faces full of wonder
stand the mother and child
reminding us
this is what it was always all about.
May the courage, faith and good hope of Mary
and the blessed presence of the child Jesus
be with you this Christmas
and through the year to come.
With love from Pen (Ember) Wilcock
