If you are feeling like Scrooge this year: old, miserly and bad-tempered. Join the Club!
Yes, it is difficult to be feeling positive for a lot of people. There is a high price to pay for our electricity, heating and food, mortgages, rent and a lot of other things and yes, it is unfair to have to work hard, while others don't help to fill the Government's coffers.
But, think of this: there are almost always people worse off than you. In the UK, in drought-ridden countries, in war-torn countries and in Hospitals all over the country. Rough sleepers, people who are ill, terminally ill, mentally ill, physically ill or disabled, all carry a burden. So, if you are well; Rejoice. If you are loved; Rejoice. If you are free to make your own choices; Rejoice. If you are warm and not hungry or thirsty; Rejoice.
There are a lot of really bad things going on right now. But, if you read this, please think about others less fortunate and be kind to someone and tell them to pass it on. If we can all spread some kindness and keep spreading it, life for those people will maybe be a little more bearable.
