Well once again Christmas time is upon us,the hustle and bustle of shops,the tills merrily ringing away as millions of presents consume enough wrapping paper to go around the world several times over,when will it ever end ! suddenly without any more ado it is Christmas day,and families gather around the tree to open their presents,yes this is a time for the family to enjoy each others company !
The older we become then Christmas seems ever more to become a poignent milestone in our life,a yardstick if you like that has measured out the year,the problem is those sections seem to become smaller and before we know it we are into yet another year before we know it.
For many there is a well earned rest and a chance to unwind and enjoy the fayre,the world seems to become a more stressful place with the passing of time and mankind needs these brief sojourns to relax even more,as children unwrap their presents and adults sip their glass of port before we know it the day is over !
Well we all know that there is always someone out there less fortunate than ourselves,and it is also a time to count our blessings and to appreciate our loved ones,as modellers we have something that little bit special,and it is also a chance to get out on Boxing day to sail or fly our models with our friends,after the food and drink that is very welcome,there is just nothing better than the fresh air to clear the mind.
So I hope that Father christmas has popped the right kits and models down the respective chimneys,and you will all have the christmas that you deserve-
HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE ! and as the header says here
A GOODWILL TO ALL MEN (AND WOMEN EVERYWHERE )
