Subject: Happy Christmas
Happy Christmas everyone. It's the end of a strange year, we shilled and sallied between optimism and despair as the pandemic attracted all kinds of variables and the human reaction to these variables. For many, I would assume most, it's been a business of getting on as best we could and not becoming afraid of what's around every corner. 'What will be will be' has to be the process which carries us forward and in some ways given we are all vulnerable it, should draw us in to a sense of our commonality rather than amplify our differences.
If we are lucky today will be a day of good food and good will but things could go wrong, if the joint burns or there is a silly fall out but our intentions always start out well on Christmas Day and reminds us how important love and forgiveness are, just as important as the stuffing is to the turkey.
A glass or two of mulled wine or something stronger is also in order as the presents are opened (if you have any) and your privy to the infectious excitement of children and talk of Santa Claus. To those on their own there is an equally precious peace and quiet, a reflection of our own world and the choice to escape through a telephone call or a video link across the world.
What ever it is for you, can I wish you a Very Happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year.
