Christmas Is Many Experiences

THE UNUSUAL SEASON:

Christmas is quite wonderful...but there are shall we say other dimensions to it, also.  Our culture has so many levels. While driving through the Eastern part of Metro Atlanta today I saw a homeless woman pulling a gigantic old grocery buggy loaded up with old clothes.  As I slowed down for heavy traffic, the old woman suddenly stopped and picked up what appeared to be an old soup can.  She tried desperately and so quickly to dig out the contents of the can...you could tell the woman was so HUNGRY.  Seeing that image was a strong reminder....Christmas can be a very rugged time for some people.

Nice Writing

THE GOOD terse writing of Ernest Hemingway is a real joy.  He does not use too many adjectives.  His 'Torrents' is a fine tome.
