Christmas initial thoughts

Having finished work and wrapped up, I am now examining the tree, and considering Christmas.

 The youf of today seem to be discovering the true meaning of differential.

I wonder if it is possible to paint the decorations on the tree at the rate the children are putting them on the tree soon won’t be visible.

Well I have put some tinsel on and got some sort of approval from the children who are still loading the tree.

I have now put some decorations on, the children watching me taking pictures of the picture of the tree asked the obvious question. “Why don’t you just take a picture of the tree daddy?”

 The question for the adults is, how much of the tree does your mind decorate for you?


Strange business the feast of Christmas, the commercial, religious and traditional, none of which stand up well to much scrutiny. I only mention this as I have to answer questions from enquiring young minds.
