A Message of Welcome
Dear Friends,
Long before the familiar customs of stockings hung by the fire or trees adorned with ornaments, the spirit of Christmas was kindled by a simple act of generosity. The story of St. Nicholas, who quietly dropped gold coins down chimneys, reminds us that the essence of the season lies in thoughtful, heartfelt gestures. In Switzerland, this tradition endures, on Nikolaustag (6th December), children awaken to find chocolate in their shoes, a sweet token of kindness and a celebration of shared joy.
At Bettys, we are proud to uphold this enduring spirit of giving, and not just because of our own Swiss heritage. It is reflected in beautifully wrapped gifts and in the meaningful moments we create and share. We believe that true generosity is found in connection.
This Christmas we warmly invite you to join us in celebrating the joy of giving, not only through presents, but through time, laughter, and cherished traditions.
With our very best wishes for a joyful and memorable festive season,
Ruth Burke-Kennedy External Relations Manager
