A Christmas card

Rest on the Flight into Egypt, Fra Bartolomeo, c. 1500 (Palazzo Vescovile, Pienza)

What the Donkey Saw

No room in the inn, of course,
And not that much in the stable,
What with the shepherds, Magi, Mary,
Joseph, the heavenly host —
Not to mention the baby
Using our manger as a cot.
You couldn’t have squeezed another cherub in
For love nor money.

Still, in spite of the overcrowding,
I did my best to make them feel wanted.
I could see the baby and I
Would be going places together.

It hasn’t been the best of times chez Logic Matters. Major heart surgery for me; much anxiety having its effects on Mrs Logic Matters too. But we end the year in much better spirits.

And heavens, compared with so many in these troubled times, we are safe and comfortable and at peace. We are not having to go places, to flee war or famine or persecution. We can indeed be truly thankful and have a very good Christmas.

I hope you and yours also have a happy Christmas and a very peaceful New Year.
