‘Away in a Manger’

Christmas was a warm glow that shone through the cold winter of our school days. Come December, its lights began to twinkle invitingly from a far distant horizon and a sense of anticipation kept us trudging on determinedly in its direction. A bright contrast to the rest of the year, its radiance spread far wider than its allotted twelve days. Like the beacon of a lighthouse, Christmas shone across those bleak winter days drawing us invitingly towards its warm heart.
