It`s that time of the year when the watchwords of "Peace on earth and goodwill toward men!” will be dismissed by some as sexist, misogynist and an archaic use of language unfit for current usage. Whilst not everyone is duty bound to be a Christian in one form or another the sentiments in that phrase are universal. It is just like a sailor many days at sea looking at the horizon; it seems to be never ending until land is sighted. There are occasions when war and hate also seem never ending. History unfortunately is often on the side of the pessimists. However for all readers of any denomination or none I wish you that traditional English "merry" Christmas and a happy new year.
