Have a very merry Christmas

Looking around the house, the tree is up, the lights are twinkling and the cards are on display.

We've come off one friend's Christmas card list, and not because they're saving paper. It's a bid sad, really, but if it's a small victory to them and makes them feel better, than I'm okay with that.

I love Christmas cards and I love bumping into people in Lush Places dashing all over the village as they deliver their festive messages.

Despite rancour and division, this is a time for goodwill to all. It's a time for kindness, happiness and being thankful for all we have.

It's also a time to think - and do something about - those less fortunate than ourselves, whether it's in a hands-on way or something as simple as donating to Crisis at Christmas or giving your winter fuel allowance over to Dorset Community Foundation who will find someone who really needs it.

The lights are on the trees outside, it'll be Midnight Mass this evening and, after the clock has struck twelve, the baby Jesus will finally appear in the manger with the old nativity figures nestling under the altar.

With the help of Snoopy and Joni Mitchell, I wish you all a merry Christmas and a peaceful, happy and healthy 2020.


That's about it.
