Between the Lines: Winging it at Christmastime

Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more

Our world is so fractionated, our faithful friends so far away. If those golden days of yore ever did exist, it often seems they won’t come again.
