Be Merry For most Christmas is a time of merriment. For me Christmas is a time to dispel old nightmares. Old people who brought no happiness, old things that brought no use and old hurts that stuck with you throughout the year. The sadness of it all cannot be discounted but nor can it be held on to - so for those of you, like me, who do not have a typical Christmas - I wish you can make it merry. And for those who have a merry one, make it merry for another too. Merry Christmas you all.
