My dearest mate, cobber & buddy
First of all let me wish you and your family a very merry holiday season ..
Rather than stop there, let me give you some real holiday cheer in this time when we traditionally think of families, loved ones and miss those who have gone before us ..
I think during this festive season it is important to remember that whether we are Jewish, Muslim, Christian, Hindu, Agnostic, Atheist etc, there is one thing we all share in common ..
We all have a mother and father ..
That is the one thing that bonds us all ..
Let us take a special moment to remember and honour our parents and those who have gone before us ..
Santa reminds us that we are all born of man and woman ..
We are all united by a mother and father ..
This is what bonds us as humans ..
So during this time, when we reflect on family, friends and loved ones, please accept my heartfelt Season's Greetings and take some time to reach out to your loved ones, maybe someone you are estranged to even and wish them a happy holiday ..
Also please, take a moment to reflect on the coming year and your priorities and for those of you, who have children, give them a hug, tell them you love them and spend every moment you can with them ..
I promise you .. you will miss them more than you know once they are grown up and gone.
Cierra los ojos, abre el corazón .. y aprende a ver con los ojos del alma ..
(close your eyes .. open your heart and learn to see with the eyes of the soul) ...
FELIZ NAVIDAD .. HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND MERRY EVERYTHING ..
Yours
Presidente
