'Twas the Night Before Christmas in the Caravan Park

By Terry Locke

Clement Clarke Moore's rhymed tale, 'Twas the Night Before Christmas, has won a deserved place in the hearts of children and adults alike. It captures something of the magic of anticipation that characterises the experience of Christmas for many. However, it is a tale, and sadly in a world where the gap between the rich and the poor and the privileged and the marginalised appears to be growing, there are many families for whom this magic, dependent as it is on income, is beyond reach. The 'Caravan Park' in my own tale can be thought of as a symbol of those parts of our world where parents, however loving, are deprived of the means to provide their children with the advantages many of us take for granted. It is also a tale which reminds us that despite the gloom represented by many news headlines, there is kindness aplenty in our world. And as long as this kindness exists, so does the potential for a magic light to shine in dark places.
