It is the time of year when we now need to take some time back from the hustle and bustle of daily life and especially the madness of the past few days and weeks in preparing for this most auspicious occasion....
But we must ask ourselves after spending all that money in rip off shops and wasting time trudging around looking for the perfect gift getting wet to the bone or nudged or even stampeded....what is it all about??
Just look at the picture of the Mother and Child and reflect upon the real meaning of Christmas and let the true spirit enter your hearts and lives...
* call to visit a neighbour
* bring an elderly friend /neighbour to your home for 2 or 3 days of Christmas
* telephone relatives and friends even to say happy Christmas
* go to Church and offer up your hopes, fears and wishes to God
Ag an ám seo, Nollaig Shona dóibh go léir
