CHRISTMAS, CHRISTMAS, CHRISTMAS ...

When Christmas trees become higher, Christmas globes bigger, garlands more and more luxuriant, presents unrealistically numerous, gargantuan dinners, and champagne flows like water.
But what really is behind this downpour of excesses, more uncontrollable day by day ? Most of the time, nothing, absolutely nothing, NADA !
Just one more opportunity to show that we have the most beautiful Christmas tree of the neighbourhood, one more opportunity to binge like pigs until it comes out of your ears, or to get ridiculously drunk without being taken for a drunkard, seeing our children playing on the following day with the most expensive bicycle, just to comfort our own ego.
Forgotten our forbears, our wood toys, our Christmas cards tenderly written, and the fire chimney heating ours hearts already consuming. Poor people are still down the frozen streets, holding out one’s hand, that most of us pretend not to notice, while having our run to munitions, sorry, supplying, I mean.
Self-keeping becomes a quality, individualism a way of life, and sharing as rare as wattle’s leaves in winter. Even snow doesn’t look the same anymore !
Who really remember what Christmas is about ?
One thing is sure, Christmas is not this, definitely not THIS ...
