Although it is over for 2008, I’d like to remind readers of this old English childrens’ rhyme

Christmas is coming
The goose is getting fat
Please to put a penny
In the poor man’s hat

I ask my Goddess that by Yule 2009, there will be less famine, less war and suffering, and less poverty in our world.
