Give an extra gift and bring some extra cheer to the less fortunate

ISN’T it strange how, even if you’re no longer religious, the words of some of the Christmas hymns can still move you?

Especially if they’re sung beautifully in an appropriate setting.

There’s a simplicity and a majesty about some of the famous lines from those carols. They remind you of what religion can mean — and perhaps in a way of what our religions have lost by their own distancing from the manger.
