this Christmas like others before the race is on to get the best lights up on yer house. Its a ‘keeping up with the jones’s’ that has ESB network draining of power. Think of the extra light pollution, if there was a second coming would we find 3 wise men, would they find a star in the East? in city glow its hard to see some of the medium stars anymore. <\/p>\n
anyway your kids might get slagged for not having cool trainers but not having enough external wall lighting is going too far. STOP STOP STOP the rot, don’t do the xmas lights on the house please. Dublin City Council please pass a planning bye law to make this easier to discourage the fade. <\/p>\n
I *like* Christmas time, here is a poem I wrote about it<\/p>\n
Christmas is a time of giving
\nWith turkey and ham and easy living
\nAnd its baby Jesus versus Santa Claus
\nAnd carol singing for a worthy cause
\nIt’s a holiday for a week or two
\nThe church is packed, a religious coup
\nAnd its midnight mass at 10 o’clock
\nAnd the next-door neighbour in her new frock
\nIts presents under the Christmas tree
\nWhile shaking a box for charity<\/p>\n
Christmas is a time when we all reflect
\nBend our knees and genuflect
\nAnd pray to our one God creator
\nThat next year it will be a little later
\nCoz Christmas has become a commercial gimmick
\nThat at 20 years of age has made me a cynic
\nAnd why not!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
