It’s time to restore real meaning of Christmas

LIVING as we do in a country with all sorts of cultural diversity now, I feel those who have spent their entire lives here are in danger of being overlooked.

It’s time to restore real meaning of Christmas

Last Christmas I visited a hospital in a county town. There was no crib in the entrance hall and when I enquired about this I was told it was not there because our non-Christian brethren might be offended.

This made me very aware of the degree of dumbing down of the Christian message that is taking place. This year, greeting cards with a Christian message are very scarce. After all, it is the great Christian ethos of this country, along with our awareness of how blessed we are, that makes Irish people respond so generously to every appeal and to contribute way beyond our size as a country to every needy cause.
