For all those people stranded and unable to get home for Christmas. My heart aches for them!
Firstly, Christmas is such a special time of year for me, not just for spiritual reasons, but it's such a lovely family time and has always been my favourite time of the year. If i couldn't spend it with those i loved, i'd feel so miserable. My mum always makes the day so special and treats my sister and i like we were young again.
Secondly, it reminds me of the time i was getting a plane back to the UK after i'd been living in Spain. I had no money in my wallet, none in the bank and one cigarette in my pack. I was getting a lift from the airport in the UK and was going to stay with my mum and everything was going to be ok. It was a dark time and hope was all i had. I was just hoping that the plane wouldn't be delayed, that my mum would look after me and that everything would turn out well.
How many people are waiting for a flight with nothing more than a £5 food voucher that they get? How many people are missing their family? How many people are losing their hope? These people are in my prayers and i just hope their Christmas comes as they'd hoped and that if it doesn't, they are warm, fed and loved.

PS - i know there are lots of other people unable to celebrate or be warm, etc, but this just brings memories back to me.

I feel terrible for them too! I can't imagine how awful it must be not to be with people who love you at Christmas! They're in my thoughts and my fingers are crossed their luck improves soon! "Nothing saves anyone's life, Sir. It just postpones their death." - Posner , The History Boys. | |

Actually I feel much more sorry for those who have no home, no friends, family, heat, food or people who care. That is truly sad as that can be for life and not just for a few uncomfortable days.. She's so pure, Moses could'nt even part her knees.....Joan Rivers on Marie Osmond. | |

Well yes, of course, but i still feel for these people. It's a bit like feeling sorry for people who have broken their arms, whilst still acknowledging some people are amputees. x If i'm wrong at least i don't matter. |
