homeless.jpgAs we celebrate Christmas – the time of peace, love and giving – let us spare a thought for the less fortunate in our society and in our world.

Lets take it upon ourselves to say a nice word, express a smile or even give a simple gift to those around us who are less fortunate – the poor, homeless, sick, depressed, lonely.

Let this Christmas be the one where we all give a little bit more of ourselves.

Merry Christmas, everyone.

Regards,
