Dear Unsealers,

It’s Christmas Day.

I know, it felt like December went by so fast, yet here we are at the last week of the month and of this year.

I hope that everyone celebrates this day in the company of those who they hold dear. And if this day is difficult to celebrate, all the love and light in the early morning dawn.

This is my annual Christmas message, from the city to the world and my family to yours…

On this, the 25th day of December
The last week of this year begins

A celebration of life in the midst of winter
And goodwill towards all
After a difficult and trying year

A message of love for those that find the season difficult to celebrate
As bright as the north star in the night sky
May it reach all of the souls on earth

For hope lies eternal in better days
Today, tomorrow and in the year ahead

From the city to the world
From me to you and from my family to yours

Said many times in many ways:

Merry Christmas!
¡Feliz navidad!
Nollaig Shona!
Feliz Natal!
Joyeux noël!
Buon Natale!
Καλά Χριστούγεννα!
Sretan Božić!
