CHRISTMAS is a time for friends and family, whether we are meeting in person or sending gifts and warm wishes.
With what we have been through over the last 18 months, and with the turbulent times still ahead of us, this Christmas we need to hold our loved ones, friends and neighbours that little bit closer and take time to check on people. A friendly hello can go a long way.
Whatever you are doing this Christmas, please enjoy each other and I wish you all health and happiness for 2022.
Please stay safe.
