As the festive season approaches, it’s a time to pause and reflect on the range of celebrations that make our community so unique. Christmas is a time of joy for many, but it’s also a season that is celebrated differently by each of us. Whether it’s through cherished family traditions, quiet moments of reflection, or festive gatherings with friends, this time of year is about connection, compassion, and togetherness.
While many of us celebrate surrounded by loved ones, we must remember those for whom this season brings feelings of loss or loneliness. For families who have lost a loved one, the empty seat at the table can be a poignant reminder of their absence. Let’s extend a hand of kindness to them — a visit, a phone call, or even a simple message to let them know they are not alone can mean the world.
Regardless of how you celebrate, Christmas is a chance to unite in the values that bind us: love, generosity, and understanding. In our wonderful community, tolerance shines as a beacon. Let’s embrace the differences in how we celebrate, honour one another’s traditions, and nurture the bonds that make our society strong.
May this Christmas bring peace, love, and hope to every household across our community. Wishing you all a joyful festive season filled with warmth, connection, and the true spirit of Christmas.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.
Warm regards,
The Hon. Karen Andrews MP
