. . . pretended smiles, for those who do not yet know . . . |
Some say there are two types of December moods. The first type is the Joy To World mood and the second type is the Bah Hum Bug mood. Ah, but I say there are more than two types of December moods, and the one left out is far more prevalent than the other two combined. Christmas Mourning Carol St. Ann There is a somberness that comes with the holidays. Time, like an army of wooden soldiers, marches across the landscape of our lives, robbing innocence and faith, leaving frenzied shopping, and drunken gluttonous feasting in their place. Guardians and loved ones, whose sincerest soulful pledges of through the years we all will be together rang through the rafters, were disallowed by the fates, and those once joyful melodious tidings sting and gouge and rip the heart out, tainting beautiful memories with longing that will never fade nor be fulfilled. All this to bear, hidden in secret behind pretended smiles for those who do not yet know. For those who do not yet know.
