Christmas - What is there to Celebrate?

I am biased - I don't enjoy Christmas. But this year seems much, much worse to me. I cannot understand how the West can sing Carols while the Middle East burns & children die of malnutrition & starvation.

Libya, Iraq, Sudan, Afghanistan seem to have been fighting for decades. Somalia & Eritrea are also suffering drought & famine.

The average British family will spend £800 on Christmas. Many families will take out loans or use credit cards to fund it.

Successive Governments have tolerated homelessness in the UK for years. My Christmas charity this year is Green Pastures which provides affordable housing for the homeless.

None of this makes any sense to me. We are a rich nation.
