Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas, the best kind of all to have.
Draw your loved ones near you, fill the stockings of little ones with tangerines, candy canes and small Dinky toys left hanging on the mantlepiece. These are the things that light the Christmas candle in your soul.
Everything precious about Christmas is small, starting with the tiny Baby, Who grew up to be Savior of the World, lovingly laid in a manger by His Mother.
Unfortunately, legends in their own minds, all mayors, municipal councillors, governors, prime ministers, premiers et al who work to deny their constituents the epic Season of Goodwill, believe they’re so much bigger than the Creator.“CHCH News has been told that a final decision will be made in cabinet this morning. If the announcement is made, the lockdown is expected to start at 12:01 a.m. on Christmas Eve.” “The premier has been hosting meetings all weekend with various health officials.”
“This lockdown would be similar to the previous one made during the first wave of COVID-19 in March. However, there is speculation that the southern regions of Ontario will remain on lockdown longer than the northern ones. (CHCH) “The reports also suggest the winter break for elementary and high school students could be extended for up to two weeks. “The city of Hamilton officially went into the grey-lockdown category of the Provincial COVID-19 Response Framework at 12:01 a.m. this morning. Halton, Niagara, and Brant are in the red-control category, and Haldimand-Norfolk is in the orange-restrict category.”But wait a minute: “Schools are not part of the problem,” according to the premier but he’s closing them for weeks anyway. “Ford could have imposed more severe restrictions just in the most affected areas. Instead, people in areas with low COVID numbers are told to lock down like Armageddon is at hand.: (National Post, Dec.21-, 2020) Long since forgotten is Ford’s video version of what do do to fill in the long, lonely hours of lockdown in last March’s first Covid outbreak: teaching viewers how to make the same kind of cherry cheesecake his mother taught him as a boy! Not only has fat-cat Ford remained in that hideous video ever since, but there are now hundreds of elected officials scaremongering about death by Covid. Shut the politicians out! This is not Armageddon, it’s Christmas. It’s far more heartwarming to listen to Judy Garland singing ‘Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas’ than it is to listen to overpaid, underworked government officials telling folk they’re all gonna’ die without wearing masks and social distancing—the same masks and social distancing that, according to them, must have delivered diddly squat in preventing a second, “more contagious” wave of the pandemic.
