Day 270 - ​Revised Christmas Schedule

REVISED CHRISTMAS  SCHEDULE
 
Covid is trying to force the
cancellation of Christmas this year.
Locked in, our loved ones
are feeling lost and uneasy.
 
The time for family and friends
has been slapped down.
There is a different rulebook
on what we can or should do.
 
But Christmas is safe
within each one of us.
No matter what happens,
we can link up and be with each other.
 
Let’s schedule our daily phone calls
to catch up and chat.
Let’s send our texts randomly and often.
Let’s plan Zoom chats for games,
quizzes and present opening.
For Santa is coming as planned.
 
Let’s watch our TV shows
and films as usual.
Let’s set up the laptop beside the TV
and bring all of us together.
 
Let's also take a moment
to remember those who have died. 
Let's  reach out to those missing   loved ones
and  those struggling with isolation.
 
For we can  expand our get-togethers
this year, not restrict them.
Let's use WhatsApp, FaceTime  or Skype
to include more people than  ever before.
 
Let’s have big bubbles and
little bubbles everywhere!
Let’s encourage and bring cheer to others.
Let’s celebrate all of Christmas this year.
 
So, let’s plan our revised schedule now
with who, and what and when.
Let's send out our invites to our loved ones.
And let's include others with  a very
deliberate act of Christmas kindness.
 
And let us  look forward this Christmas   
with moments of love and hope. 
For we know,  as always, there are  babies
soon to be born all over the world.
