Together For Christmas

INTRO: It’s just wonderful to enjoy Christmas day all together in one place. But even the best plans can be turned upside down. Christmas Day can present challenges in getting the family together or getting along with everyone who has been invited. We want the day to run smoothly and happily on this special day of the year. Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn’t. That’s family life – full of pleasant surprises and challenges.

Christmas Day can prove messy for some families. Whether it be due to work commitments, divorce, loss of a loved one, or lack of money to buy gifts. But we continue with our plans as best we can in the circumstances that we are in at the time. Cause that’s what families do. Beverley Joy.

AUDIO – Together for Christmas

Another Christmas comes and goes

Our family spread from Coast to Coast

We’ll share Christmas lunch in Australian style

Cold drinks, salad, and deserts in the summertime.

My brother and wife, we don’t see them much

As they live a ten-hour drive away

But we’ll eat and chat when we catch up

This Christmas Day together in one place.

Mum’s ill health and operations

Dad’s knees are weak and keep failing him

They’re growing old and we must accept
