Yes I know it's not Christmas yet, but it will soon be.....

And Christmas always fills me with mixed emotions!

It fills me with joy, and with sadness both at the same time, joy due to all the happy childhood Christmas's I enjoyed as a child. After all Christmas is a time for loved ones and families to be together. Sadly of course that may not be possible, which just inflames my sadness. 

Also sadness for all the little children who wake up on Christmas day and are disappointed because Santa forgot to visit their house, or if he did, he failed to deliver that one special toy, that they had their little hearts set on.

And of course sadness for their parents who could not afford to buy that one special toy that their son or daughter had their little hearts set on.

And for me when I listen to this song it fills me with sadness, because of the loved ones I can't be with on Christmas Day.
