December 26 - the day after



I’ve not seen much of today. I slept all morning then got up and slept most of the afternoon. I’ve every admiration for those with energy to go out walking today or hit the Boxing Day sales. These are a few days where not a lot happen really. Someone had better remind me 31 December is a Sunday! 

I wonder how exhausted the Christmas characters were after all the drama was over. Mary and Joseph must have been shattered mentally and physically. We think Jesus was a lot older when the magi came - they were in a house - so maybe once the birth of Jesus had been recovered from there was a little time of stability before they fled into Egypt when Herod went into his tyrannical genocidal rage.

Getting over the journey from Nazareth to Bethlehem must have taken time. Someone has worked out how long it would take today with checkpoints and danger. It’s as ardous a journey for many families today. 



It’s okay to take time this week to recover and readjust. It’s okay to sleep and have nothing happen. Unless you are in Albert Square. Linda appears to have done in Keanu! 



Anyway we need help to recover wherever there’s been excess energy given out or a major event  and I wish us all a peaceful and uneventful few days… and cheese.
