And What Have YOU done?

There is a song that you hear almost on every radio station during the Christmas season, the song is Happy Christmas. I can hear now as I write this. Can you? The first few lines repeat over and over in my head. They are written by John Lennon who always seemed to have a handle on the culture. I can't get them out of my mind.

They go something like this:

"So this is Christmas

And what have you done

Another year over

And a new one just begun"

So now that 2008 is over with, what have you done, what have I done?

Did I help someone in need?

Did I sacrifice myself for someone else?

Did I feel someone elses pain?

Did I listen?

Did I hug someone?

Did I give someone a ride?

Did I go the extra mile for someone?

Did I take someone out for Coffee?

Did I go to that wake that I didn't want to go to?

Did I cry with someone with great loss?

Did I step out?

Did I empty my pockets?

Did I?

Did I?"

Did I?

Oh, What have I done? Oh, What have you done?
