Hey John,

🎅🎄It was the night before Christmas and all through the Senate, not a creature was stirring, not even a pollie.

The stockings were hung by the President’s chair with care, in hopes that some common sense would soon be there… 🎅🎄

CHRISTMAS MESSAGE

Hooley dooley, I can’t believe it’s the week before Christmas. Where did the year go!

I know that it’s going to be a tough Christmas for a lot of people. The cost of everyday essentials like rent, petrol and groceries is through the roof, let alone trying to afford presents.

I don’t really do presents with my family anymore. I tell them that spending time together is a gift itself - especially now that I’m travelling a lot.

So I’m trying to look at Christmas a bit differently this year. It’s always been about giving back, but this year I’m really trying to do as much as I can to give back to my community.

I’ve helped out with feeding the homeless with City Mission, donated plasma at the Red Cross, did some admin with the wonderful people at Self-Help Workplace and handed out baked goods to businesses in Launnie where my office is. And I’ve had the best time doing it.

Heading into Christmas and into the New Year, I encourage everyone to give back in one way or another, wherever you can. Even if it’s just one hour of your time. It might not make a huge difference to you, but it will make a huge difference in the lives of those you’re helping.

YOUR TAKES:

In the last Tam's Takes, I asked you: Do you put your Christmas tree up before December 1st or after? Do you have a hard rule about when the decorations go up?

Here's some your responses:

Our tree goes up around Dec 15^th and comes down before New Years Eve.

— Robert

In my family the Christmas tree goes up on 1 December. It comes down on 12 January.
— Elizabeth

Never before December 1st. No hard rule but usually up after 13/12 (Daughters Birthday). She never liked being second place at Xmas .

Coming down. Hard rule . All gone within 7 days.
— Jack

Xmas tree - we put ours up the 3rd week in November.
— Brian

And me? I put up the decorations whenever I have time... but usually the sooner the better! There is quite a bit of tinsel floating around my office right now.

Have a safe Christmas and New Year with your loved ones, however you spend it. Let's head into the new year with positive vibes - I have a good feeling about it!

Until next year,

Tammy Tyrrell
