There is so much to love about Christmas and its wonderful traditions – it’s truly a time full of joy, light and wonder. Whether it’s an uplifting holiday service or a festive meal with friends and family, each of us has one (or more!) special moments we look forward to and cherish each Christmas.
But what makes Christmas really special – for all of us – is that it’s not just about appreciating our precious blessings. It’s also about extending this happiness to people who are less fortunate than we are.
Christmas is time for friends and family and good cheer, but it is also one for remembering those who may not have friends or family around them.
The opportunity to give is in and of itself a blessing – it brings joy to others and to ourselves.
This Christmas, I hope you think about our children at CRO. I know they will be thinking about
you, and your invaluable support.
I am always encouraged by the resilience, creativity and good humour of our people and it is in this spirit that I would like to take this opportunity to wish all our children a happy Christmas and a peaceful and prosperous 2015.
I extend my sincere thanks to all who supported CRO during 2014 — our donors, our fundraisers, the staff of CRO, our volunteers and colleagues on the Board.
I wish you and your loved ones all the best this holiday season.
