The stores are garlanded with tinseled baubles and Santa is tucked away in a corner of the shopping centre having his photo taken with the littlies - even the piped Muzac has turned festive.For many though Christmas rarely lives up to the idealised image of loving family and friends around a Yuletide fireplace.
So for those who are to spend Christmas Day alone or working hard to keep the wolf from the door, I say "Chin up!"
Go for a walk, watch a decent DVD, read a good book or listen to your favourite happy tunes, above all give yourself a little treat; and if all else fails, curse that little fat man in the tatty red suit and look forward to next year.
There will be a free Christmas lunch at the Christian Life Centre in Treelands Drive, Yamba on 25 December 2008. All are welcome according to the sign above the door.
Need to chin wag to keep the blues at bay over Christmas?
