And So This is Chistmas

I sit here on Christmas Eve 2020, it's raining, seems fitting .... so much sadness,
so much grief
No end in sight as illness and deaths rise,
no sign of relief.

Words to a song comes to mind from a long time ago by John Lennon Happy Xmas (War is Over)

So this is Christmas
And what have you done
Another year over
A new one just begun
And so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear ones
The old and the young
A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fears
And so this is Christmas
For weak and for strong
The rich and the poor ones
The war is so long
And so happy Christmas
For black and for white
For yellow and red ones
Let's stop all the fights
A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fears
And so this is Christmas
And what have we done
Another year over
A new one just begun
And so happy Christmas
We hope you have fun
The near and the dear ones
The old and the young
A very merry Christmas
(And a happy New Year)
Ooh, oh
(Let's hope it's a good one)
It's a good, it's a good one
Without any fear
And so this is Christmas
And what have we done
Another year over
A new one just begun

And so this is Christmas .... Christmas 2020.... and what have we done? 
Can we stop all the fight
And do what is right?

We go into the new year with covid,
our enemy,
Will we look out for one another,
Or keep hating each other,
Pointing fingers, 
It's you, 
not me!

Will we begin the new year leading with our head
or our heart?
Will we work together or 
one another apart?

And so this is Christmas,
What will you do?
Now, it's all up to you.
