Christmas 2020

Christmas 2020

Christmas 2020 was very different for many people. Joyce, one of the talented writers from Jubilee Church, sums it up.

Christmas was different this year

Empty tables
Empty chairs
Empty hearts
Christmas was different this year
Pandemic surging
Lockdown pending
Flood waters raging
Christmas was different this year
Sent no cards
Bought no presents
Cooked no food
Christmas was different this year
Gathered by zoom
Quizzes by zoom
A Merry ‘little’ Christmas.

Christmas was different THAT year
A long trek by donkey
Heavily pregnant
Accommodation uncertain
Christmas was different THAT year
Smelly stable
Cattle lowing
Sheep bleating.
Christmas was different THAT year
Angels sang
A star shone
Shepherds worshipped
BUT
Because Christmas was different THAT year
We can have life
We can have hope
We can have joy
We can know love
We can know peace
We can know God
Because HE CAME

 

Thank you Joyce.
