I'm gearing up for the Christmas family invasion starting today. I won't have any down time for GN until the new year, so this is just to send all you Gransnetters best wishes for Christmas. And for those for whom it is a sad or lonely time, I am sending . Thanks to you all for your company this last (at times difficult) year. From Jud.
'The light of the Christmas star to you, The warmth of home and hearth to you, The cheer and good will of friends to you, The hope of a childlike heart to you, The joy of a thousand angels to you, The love of the Son, And God’s peace to you.'
Enjoy Christmas however you can. If you feel stressed out or unappreciated keep calm and remember that all the advertising rubbish we see is not real life.
Be happy with what enjoyment you can get out of the weekend.
Thanks to those who have offered support to others over the year even if it is just a virtual hug. We have shelter and enough food and can keep warm. we are not all having
Don't take this wretched song for granted. Simply having a wonderful Christmastime
Happy Christmas, God bless us every one. Peace and comfort to all Gransnetters who are ill or suffering in any way. Let's hope 2017 brings more understanding and tolerance in the world.
Christmas greetings to all Gransnetters and good wishes to all around the world whether you will be celebrating Christmas or not - I wish you well and a peaceful 2017.
Christmas wishes to Gransnetters past as well, one of whom I thought about today as I was steam-cleaning my floors (if she is reading this she will know who she is but I daren't hijack mention on yet another thread).
Happy Christmas, every one, though I'm sure I will feel the need to escape the madness take a peek on here between now and Boxing Day! Thanks to everyone who's added to the interest and humour of Gransnet and special thoughts to all whose hearts are heavy this Christmas, especially those coping with illness in the family or the loss of someone special x
