December, 07's JOURNEYS SHARED offering is a Holiday-themed poem that our Publisher, Chris Poh penned about 33 years ago when he was a young whippersnapper. The sentiment still stands. CHRISTMAS I am not sure that I believe in Christmas. I have not put aside this day for peace or love. I have, though, put aside a day for Bing Crosby and the breaking in of new clothes. For most of us, Christmas is anti-climatic. What little peace and love that may be found in that moment is quickly stored away in hearts like decorations in boxes left hidden until next year. So for you I wish only a merry Bing Crosby and a happy breaking in of new clothes. As for peace and love, I wish you this all the other days of the year. Chris Poh, circa 1974 American Public House Review invites you to share your journeys with fellow readers. Send us your poems, prose, or mini-stories.
