Merry Xmas, .... To All

"The Council of Trade Unions wants New Zealanders to spare a thought for the thousands of people working Christmas Day who ae now rewarded for their efforts under new employment laws." (NZ Herald)

Last year, I had my Xmas dinner off the bonnet of a police car.
There had been a terrible accident and horror hung in the air.

Money, pay, overtime, were the last things on our minds, but at least on payday there was a small, heavily taxed, silver lining.

Today, God willing, I am not working, but to those who are, Thanks.
