POOR Pamela Egan (Letters January 3). She sounds weary and sad after her Christmas festivities and wonders why she does it all and why will she do it all again next year?

Come on Pam, where would you be without that lovely family around you at Christmas.

How they must have looked forward to being with you and Peter at that time.

And why? Because Christ came at Christmas to bring hope and salvation to a world of pain including terrorist attacks, Afghanistan/India/Pakistan, the list is endless.

Christmas and festive fun, I love it!

Cheer up Pam,

Bryan R Lawson,
