The first Christmas in this new house and, grieving for the times now gone he starts to make a new life here because now, he really should move on. He got a potted fir tree and put it on a shelf and added balls and tinsel and a star, but it needed something else he thought so searched the shops both near and far. He came upon some small wax apples coloured red with a gleaming skin his little girl would want to save them so he bought a box to keep them in. Still, decades on, this time each year you can search the branches and see among the decorations and presents are red wax apples on my Christmas tree.

Bethlehem Donkey
Beneath a star a boy was born, a special child was he, mum and dad and some kings looked on as did an old donkey. This donkey knew that great things would follow this baby's birth now the world would change for a Saviour was here on earth. Like the others gathered round the donkey knelt before the rough manger on the ground and donkeys would for evermore. That is why, if you sneak at Christmas to a donkey's stall without a sound, don't even speak! just look around the wall. You may see the donkey kneeling facing towards the east overcome by an ancient feeling representing all other beasts. This simple animal every year shames mankind it seems for we just raise a glass to cheer forsaking the Saviour's dreams.
