Christmas+in+the+workhouse

The people in the workhouses are usually getting great food in the Christmas, but there are some people that want to stop this great meal, that the people in the workhouses are getting. However, a lot of workhouses are disregarding the new rules. The Poor Law Amendment Act is getting a lot of complaints about the rules, and they are about to change it. Christmas day is one of the special days when no work, except the necessary household work and cooking, is performed by the workhouse inmates. The joy that the workhouse inmates are feeling in the Christmas holiday is one of a kind. They appreciate everything, and they feel the joy and happiness that we wealthy and healthy people are feeling every single day. The Poor Law Amendment Act changed the law, and allows the workhouse people extra treatment and food, but only if it comes from private sources and not from union funds. This means a lot to the inmates in the workhouse, and they are feeling appreciated. Charles Dickens is also a man that the inmates in the workhouse are looking up to, and on Christmas day, his song “A Christmas Carol” is very popular, and the people are feeling happiness, but only for the holiday. Is it fair, that the people who work most of all people, is only feeling this joy once in a year? The answer is no. Every single day the inmates in the workhouses are working the hardest, and they never get credit for it. Some people are saying that the food they are getting in the workhouse is payment enough, but is a half full bowl with porridge a fair payment? Is a hard mattress in a lousy bed, enough payment for everything they do in the workhouse? It’s improper that some people actually want to take away the only good thing the inmates in the workhouses have. They are counting the days until Christmas every single day, why do some people want to take that joy away? I hope that they still will get it in the future. They deserve it!
