Christmas comes but once a year ... and I'm busy preparing but also on the agenda is a once in a lifetime celebration - my only son's rapidly approaching 21st birthday. The preparations got serious today as we headed into the city to meet with the functions co-ordinator of the Elizabeth Theatre where we intend to hold the functions (yes plural... long story).
With that locked and loaded we wandered back to the car parked near the Botanic Gardens. At first my eyes we drawn to the beautiful tree on Parliament House and then the nativity scene at the front door. It was refreshing to see an alternative to the "white-washed" nativities we normally see. My guess is that no matter what skin colour, the journey from that bundle to a 21-year-old will feel like both a blink of an eye and a lifetime. Time plays that trick on all of us.
