Modest response to political good wishes

PLEASE allow me to send a Christmas message to our politicians.

On behalf of our household I’d like to thank them for all the beautiful Christmas cards we’ve received.

Indeed not only were we beholden to them for the cards, but we were suitably impressed by their high quality. We were also slightly overwhelmed by the number of local councillors and TDs who actually knew us, never having met or spoken to most of them. My apologies to their secretaries who obviously have a better data base than we have.
