This came through my facebook page, so I felt I needed to share it.I don't know who wrote it, but it is very true
Twas the Month before Christmas
Twas the month before Christmas
When all through our land,
Not a Christian was praying
Nor taking a stand.
See the PC Police had taken away
The reason for Christmas - no one could say.
The children were told by their schools not to sing
About Shepherds and Wise Men and Angels and things.
It might hurt people's feelings, the teachers would say
December 25th is just a ' Holiday '.
Yet the shoppers were ready with cash, checks and credit
Pushing folks down to the floor just to get it!
CDs from Madonna, an X BOX, an I-Pod
Something was changing, something quite odd!
Retailers promoted Ramadan and Kwanzaa
In hopes to sell books by Franken & Fonda.
As Targets were hanging their trees upside down
At Lowe's the word Christmas - was no where to be found.
At K-Mart and Staples and Penny's and Sears
You won't hear the word Christmas; it won't touch your ears.
Inclusive, sensitive, Di-ver-si-ty
Are words that were used to intimidate me.
Now Daschle, Now Darden, Now Sharpton, Wolf Blitzen
On Boxer, on Rather, on Kerry, on Clinton !
At the top of the Senate, there arose such a clatter
To eliminate Jesus, in all public matter.
and we spoke not a word, as they took away our faith
Forbidden to speak of salvation and grace
The true Gift of Christmas was exchanged and discarded
The reason for the season, stopped before it started.
So as you celebrate 'Winter Break' under your 'Dream Tree'
Sipping your Starbucks, listen to me.
Choose your words carefully, choose what you say
Shout MERRY CHRISTMAS, not Happy Holiday !
Please, all Christians join together and wish everyone you meet
MERRY CHRISTMAS
Christ is The Reason' for the Christ-mas Season!
If you agree please forward

I have been struggling to get back into routine after being on holidays, does this happen to you too?
It's so nice to take time out and for us it's fishing, reading, taking photos and playing cards, but then it's so hard to rev back up into work mode.
I think the older I get the more benefits I see from the layed back life style. Beach walks, swims, catching up with friends. These are things we often struggle to find time for in a hectic lifestyle, but when we take time out we are reminded again of how important these things are.
If we don't prioritise these things they don't happen. I find the computer is like a bit yawning chasm that steals whole chunks of time, so I am setting my alarm to warn me when an hours up and it's time to go and do something else.
What stratagies do you have to manage your time to include leisure activities?
To give you some lesure time right where you are you can have a look at my latest pictures taken while I was on holidays at http://juliakharwood.redbubble.com/ Enjoy:)

Holidaying in Esperance
We are having a few weeks in the south west of Western Australia. We are in Esperance at the moment.
Esperance is known for having the best beaches in Australia, but unfortunately we have been unable to enjoy it fully as cyclone Yasi has reached all the way over here and we have had lots of rain and very overcast skys, but we are keeping our fingers crossed.
We have met Sammy the sealion and I did a 5 min helicopter ride as well.
There is also a great local coffee van called the Coffee Cat that is down near the main jetty every morning and is the locals favourite for coffee. We tried it out and the coffee was brilliant!
Yesterday we had a bit of excitement with a train derailing and the pictures I took of it were in page three of the Esperance Express!!!
Will keep you updated as the holiday progresses.

Surviving Christmas
Hi,
I wanted to introduce you all to Kimberley.
She runs the Centre for Authentic Self Development.
If you are like me, you would like to be your authentic self always, but often spending time with family over the holiday season makes that seem impossible. So often we try to be who our families want us to be, or what we percieve they want us to be, or we fall into the age old patterns that were part of our growing up.
These are some of the tips Kimberley emailed me to coping with the holiday season.
1. Take time to remember why your celebrating in the first place. (It would be very lonely if family weren't there)
