Introduction
Welcome to Your December Issue. For most people, December means just one thing… Christmas! Yes, it’s that time of year again when everyone’s thoughts turn to December 25th and this month’s issue is guaranteed to get you in the mood for the big day with plenty of Christmas themed articles! Whatever your faith, the festive holiday season is the time when families invariably join together to celebrate and take a well-earned break from the stresses and strains of everyday life before we get ready for another new year... it doesn’t seem possible that the Millennium was almost twenty years ago! I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our readers, contributors and advertisers who have supported us throughout 2019. We always endeavour to supply you with the best possible publication each month, but it would be impossible without your help, so please keep up the good work and keep us informed of your activities in the New Year. So, on behalf of all the staff on the magazine I would like to wish you all a very merry Christmas. See you in 2020!

A very warm welcome to this, our last issue of 2019. December is a time for both reflection on what’s gone and anticipation for what’s around the corner of the new year. We can think about what we’ve achieved; those places we’ve visited and new people who may have come into our lives; others who we’ll see no more, but whose memory will remain strong. I prefer to look forward, though, and those new year resolutions are already in the planning stage! In the meantime, on behalf of all of the team here, my sincere thanks go out to everyone who has helped us in any way this year, especially our advertisers and contributors, with their regular features, wonderful advice and suggestions. All the very best to you all for Christmas and for 2020 – good luck, but most importantly, good health!
