THANK you for the opportunity to send my greetings to friends and family through your paper on the Internet.
We are separated from most of our children as we spend Christmas in Sri Lanka. Christmas here is not what we are used to, as most of the population does not celebrate the birth of Christ.
We are pleased that we met other Christians and rejoiced on Christmas morning that we know the reality of Immanuel, God with us, and pray that our children, family and friends in England rejoice with us.
SONIA (SUE) JACKSON
