This Christmas Life, a poem by Wendy Cope

Wendy Cope's Christmas poem is quite beautiful. I heard it on Radio Four on, I think, Saturday night last. As far as I can tell it was published a couple of years ago, but it is timeless.

I can't post it here for obvious copyright reasons, but you can read it where I found it, on the Guardian's page, here.

I defy you not to cry. I did.
