Christmas time is nearly upon us...

I am amazed at the scepticism I see around me, on face book or other social media sites... People already moaning about Christmas... Its a sad thing to see..they think the adverts for "things" that we buy in order to make our Christmas special are just commercial... But let me say this... These goods are out to use so that on Christmas day, a very special day, the time that we celebrate the birth of a tiny baby that bought hope into our dark lives...the gifts are to show someone you care... its a time to open hearts that have been closed ..or to smile and simply say "Merry Christmas" a time that we believe that a tiny child bought wonders to the earth...

Lets embrace the spirit of Christmas shall we.........

In the words of Dickens which I live by....



"It is required of every man," the ghost returned, "that the spirit within him should walk abroad among his fellow-men, and travel far and wide; and, if that spirit goes not forth in life, it is condemned to do so after death."
- A Christmas Carol, Charles Dickens
