Discussion of the Day
Wishing everyone a happy, safe and festive season.
Lachelle B (community member)31-Dec-20
Well it's been a roller coaster of a ride this year globally. I have met some great people on Rewardia and hope next year will be positive for everyone. I thought I would go out with a poem that sums up a typical Christmas for our family.
Aunty May has come to stay with Uncle Bob close by her side,
I let out a groan, the kids all moan and my partner's gone to hide!
The pavlova's gone flat, I can't find my cat and the turkey is horrid and dry.
The pool's sprung a leak, I'm starting to freak, and Nan's just dropped the pie!
I set out the table, it's looking unstable but here's hoping it all goes to plan,
The food is all out, I give out a shout, and here comes my hungry clan.
With bellies full but alas no more pool, we cannot eat another bite,
But we drink wine and beer and sing Christmas cheer to the last of the sunlight.
I let out a sigh, the evening is nigh and people begin to leave,
The dishes are done, I admit it was fun so see you next Christmas Eve......

                                      Although this year was terrible for many who have lost their lives but we will cheer those who have overcome their adversity & are here to celebrate the New Year with some trepidation but also hope that we will become stronger & more caring for our family,friends and neighbours

                                                    Well said Lachelle and I agree with the many Rewardia friends. I am sure many can identify with the poem - I can in days long past. Thanks Rewardia for the opportunity to be involved on this site and all the very best to you all. I wish my fellow people on this site all the very best for New Year. May it be a good one of peace and safer times. Take care and keep safe everyone!!

Who would have guessed things would have turned out the way they did! Dion B pointed out that Mad Max was set in 2021. Here's 6 more movies all set in 2021. It's All About Love (released 2003) Johnny Mnemonic (released 1995) Moon Zero Two (released 1969) A Quiet Place (released 2018) Seeking a Friend for the End of the World (released 2012) Transcendence (2014) - Dr Will Caster's (Johnny Depp) consciousness is uploaded to the internet and becomes similar to Artificial Intelligence. Dr. Caster's consciousness becomes infected with a Computer Virus...Spooky!

                                                                                                                        That will get the conspiracy theorists out of the woodwork (they will say Mad Max was a secret warning to those "in the know" for 2021 and will use it as proof that the pandemic was man made and world leaders conspired together to bring down countries and economies so their secret societies could rule the world...or some other crazy theory).

Much quieter these days and many of my family have passed. They were fun but we were glad when as you say everyone went home. Hope 2021 is a much happier and safer year for all.
