Watched the 1970 Christmas carol film yesterday. The ghost of Christmas past was played by Edith Evans and received great acclaim from the general public. Not one word of woke or some other nonsense, how far society has fallen is depressing.

Some poetry..
'disconnected fallacy'
In my eyes
you i see.
No form, abstract
nor twist, binds free,
and still here you be.
Yet, in those eyes
of me you see, so
is it mine or thine
that sees the we?
A meddling twixt
this unseen three,
in hides it lies
tween me n thee.

A church member at Urban Village Church sent this one along, where Mary, Joseph and Jesus are gone and replaced with a sign that reads: “Due to ICE activity in our community, the Holy Family is in hiding.”
