The year 2008 has been the worst for majority Zimbabweans. With an economy that has degenerated to unprecedented levels in world history, acute poverty affecting ordinary people, a political crisis that has claimed many lives and 84-year-old geriatric Robert Mugabe refusing to relinquish power, ruling the country with an iron fist since 1980 and a political power sharing deal among feuding parties failing to come to fruition since the signing of the agreement in September, there is no Christmas to celebrate in this Southern African country, except maybe for a few carols for impoverished Christians at church.
