In these fragile times of Covid-19, let us continue to be a people of great hope as we wait in our helplessness for God becoming a helpless baby amongst us this Christmas.

I may not be physically there to hug you all and wish you Merry Christmas 2020 but I am sending heartfelt wishes through this message to each and every one of my family. Even though we are thousands of miles apart and we may not party together this Christmas a great feeling brings us together. It is the love we share as a family. We are bonded by our love, connected with our hearts and knotted with our feelings. Christmas is a season of great joy, a time for remembering the past and hoping for the future. Here’s to better times ahead for all of us!

After all these years of being able to just nip over whenever we wanted, even for just a day, it’s been hard having that freedom taken away. We miss you so much. We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy New Year with lots of visits to make up for this year. All our love and hopefully see you soon, Tina, Mark, Ciaran and Naoise xxxx
