Christmas hope

Yes even on this blog in a crazy ol' year we are moving toward Christmas with many people having their decorations up with many reindeer, Santa's little helper, santa claus living in peoples gardens, well illuminated.

It seems people this year have invested an awful lot of hope in Christmas with having the year we have had so around the restrictions we have, we are celebrating and looking forward to a New Year with better times ahead as the year progresses on.

It was very much wet weather when that picture was taken but I liked that illuminated bush.

This week has seen some concrete signs of hope that follow on from what I wrote about last week.

Maggie Keenan of Coventry, Warwickshire became the first person in the world to have the fully tested Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine joined by a William Shakespeare  aged 90 and 83 respectively here in the Midlands who explained why they decided to as the mass vaccination program kicked off Tuesday.

The aim is to get around four million people vaccinated by the end of December and then continue on into the New Year which will massively reduce symptoms in the worst cases and enable over time normal life to continue.

It was as Maggie put about being able to visit, interact and hug her grand children and enabling a near normal life to resume.

That is the Hope we need, and what it is so many of us are looking for this Christmas as we look out past our reindeer, three wise men and presents.
