On October the 1st I heard that it was coming and had my first sighting on television. Since then, it has come closer and the noise about it has got louder.
Yes – Christmas is coming and now that it’s November we will be hard pushed to avoid the fact – especially when we’re shopping. In almost every supermarket and department store in the next few weeks we will hear Christmas carols playing. We may well be irritated by the 78th rendition of ‘O Little Town of Bethlehem’ but there is a bright side. Each carol shares something of the true meaning of Christmas – every time they are played or sung that meaning is shared. And someone may truly hear it for the first time.
