Christmas is a time for...caring

I usually enjoy Christmas but since losing a close family member a short while ago have found it hard to get into the Christmas spirit this year. No I'm not whining here for me - that would be selfish - but I would like to encourage people to have some consideration of how this time of year feels to us.
Some are lonely and Christmas sadly can make it feel more so, some perhaps facing unemployment or on reduced income may feel they can't take part looking their neighbours in the eye even and still others like me are dealing with loss and you're reminded of every time you write or receive cards.
Perhaps a offer of Christmas cheer, hospitality, a donation to one of the many charities operating in your district or even a hug may go someway toward helping those struggling at this time of year and you may enjoy the warm glow of trying to make things better.

Happy Christmas,
