Happy Christmas - The Reality!
Happy Christmas to you, one and all. A period of partying and drinking; contacting by card, and celebration; a day of happiness and rejoicing; giving and receiving. But . . . sadly, few of us recognise the real meaning of Christmas – especially children. Historically, it is the birth day...
