That’s true Attalus, with living a busy life far away from my (original) family, Christmas does make me stop and think about them much more, as well as many distant friends. It also acts as a circuit breaker to people who have annoyed you over the year, allowing you to put rubbish behind you, give a genuine offer of peace and goodwill and too facilitate a fresh start with them again. This is all from someone who no longer classes himself as a Christian but respects the spirit, hope and message that Christmas brings.
