The Salt of the Earth

Fast away the old year passes, fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la ...  ... 

Christmas lunch at The Beaumont, Cheshunt made the season jollier for all the guests that filled the decked dining hall.

'Tis certainly the season to be jolly, fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la ... ...

Guests hadn't a care in the world as DJ George encouraged everyone to their feet.  As they sang and danced together in elliptical orbit, spirits rose high; a visitor commented 'even Ebenezer Scrooge's heart would have melted today ~ at the sight of our unsung heroes showing us all how to live our best lives in times of austerity'.

Such merry measure, heedless of the wind and weather ~ lessons from our elders, the salt of this earth, on whose shoulders we stand.

"You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men. You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven."  Matthew 5:13–16

Hail the New Year, lads and lasses, fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la ... ...
