CHRISTMAS: Have a really Merry Christmas

Whatever you are doing, catching a flight, or celebrating with family or friends, I hope you have a wonderful Christmas in the company of loving and caring individuals.

Christmas can be the best and the worst of times. For some it confirms isolation, while for others it is a celebration of family, particularly if there are young ones about.

Take a moment to think of all those who are working on Christmas Day to give others the best experience. The aircrews in the sky. The hospitality workers who are giving up their day off to make sure others can celebrate Christmas.

Christmas Presents

And I hope you all receive a mountain of presents. But also give pause to consider those who are less fortunate. Make a donation to a humanitarian charity of your choice. That can be for those who are suffering in war torn places, or just to organisations that minister to the disadvantaged and under represented. In fact to anyone less fortunate than ourselves.

Christmas Thanks

To all of you who have sampled this blog over the last year, thank you. Thanks for taking the time to read my thoughts, and a special thanks to those who have taken the trouble to comment. To the few who have provided rude, abusive, racist, homophobic and sexist comments – Bah Humbug! Please find some way of making a positive contribution to the world.

For many of us Christmas is a joyous time of year spent with family and friends. Or for some of us avgeeks, flying off to far away locations. However for others, it is not so joyful. Please help make it more positive for them by donating money to your favourite charity.

Maybe one less bottle of champagne, and contribute that cost to a charity that supports those less fortunate.
