The time when we pause, look beyond all our daily struggles, put our differences aside and join
as a family. Togetherness, sharing and love are the true spirit of Christmas. Often it’s not the big stuff that counts, but

“This season is also an opportunity for us to strengthen the bonds that unite us, with our families, our friends, in our
community and as a nation. Christmas is also a time when we remember with great sincerity all those who
will not be able to spend this Christmas with their families, those who have lost a loved one, those who are far from home
and those who have to work during the festive season.
“Let us therefore continue to instill in our children good values, let us promote compassion and respect, let us
Let love reign in the hearts of each of us.
“I wish you all a blessed Christmas, full of peace, health and joy, for you and your families.
“May God continue to bless our country, today and forever.
“Merry Christmas everyone.
“We wish you a Merry Christmas!”
