His message continued, “However, during this season, which focuses on togetherness and giving, struggle or sadness can seem particularly sharp. So call around to a neighbour. Get in touch with a friend or a relative who you haven’t heard from for a while. Connect. It can change someone's day.”
Christmas Thoughts from Party Leaders
