The soul of Christmas

Now that Hanukkah or Jul is upon us there talk about souls
floating about in listless bodies.
To believe that the soul is an entity a part of the body
is a fallacy the last bastions for the day-dreamers who think there is an afterlife?
The reluctance to accept death as an integral part of all life.
Graves are a gift to florists and those who steal flowers from graves
to make homes charming and festive.
So, what about the soul? does it disappear when Alzheimer comes knocking
one hopes the body will join the soul before memories are erased.
