That’s one way of looking at a Christmas wish, I suppose. As we approach the end of a troubled year, staring recession in the face, it is worth keeping in mind that this Christmas won’t be one of cheer and hope for some people.

For others, let’s keep our cynicism shiny and polished as Santa Claus would wish!

These messages come courtesy of Someecards.com, an e-greetings site I encountered a few months ago, which is so spot on in its contemporary humour.

I don’t plan on posting here again before the weekend. I do plan on twittering now and again over the Christmas break, so if you fancy following that lifestream, please do. Join in the conversation if you feel inclined to.

With best wishes to everyone for a cheerful Christmas!
