Dear Friends,
At this time of year my inbox fills up with Christmas salutations from various organizations and firms that I have been in contact with and this makes me wonder how to approach the season on here.
On the one hand there are members for whom Christmas will forever be tainted with the most devastating news but there are also members who have had their burden lifted from them. Others, like myself, will celebrate the holiday with part of the family forever excluded, so it is probably safe to say that, for anyone who has joined this forum to offer and receive support, Christmases will never be the same again.
Then again for quite a few members Christmas is an important festival in the Church calender and cannot be ignored, whatever the circumstances.
After some thought I therefore want to wish everyone 'An Old-Fashioned Christmas' on the basis we can all look back in our memories to think of a time when Christmas had no other connotations or concerns for us.
