The year 2020 is a dramatic page for the whole world. Most parts of the world will be in lockdown these holidays. The pandemic will keep us distant to some of our dear friends and relatives this Christmastime. It will be a different one, but with the vaccine, it gives us hope at the end of this tragic year.
The true spirit of christmas is sharing. Let us be thankful that we had shared our blessings and helped our neighbors in some way or another this year. Always rekindle our hearts with the traditional Christmas spirit. Let us look at the wisdom of our elders on how they survived all these years with resilience and tenacity. Let us remain to be hopeful with a mindset of kindness, peace and serenity. MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!
