Christmas is the time of year when we all go that
extra mile to make others happy, such as hunting for the perfect gift that will show someone how much they mean to you. Or making sure you’ve included everyone’s favourite foods in the festive spread. Perhaps you travel a long distance to get together with loved ones. We’ve got some lovely stories from people who’ve celebrated the spirit of the season in different ways – from working in an Ebola hospital, to having two Christmases in two days in two different countries to keep two families happy (Because It’s Christmas, p9). The thing they all have in common is that they’ve broken with tradition to do something special – and this year, that’s what I’ll be doing, too. There’ll be no turkey and fewer presents… and I won’t be with my nephews, which will break my heart. Instead, I’m heading to Australia with my in-laws. To be honest, I’m a bit nervous, but I’m going to embrace the experience because it matters to those I love and it’ll still be Christmas – just a little bit different this year.
