This is the final <strong>Local</strong> <strong>Life</strong> of <strong>2020</strong> and I can safely<br />
say that it is a year that everyone is going to glad<br />
to see the back of. The news on the vaccine front<br />
gives us hope that 2021 will be the year the world learns<br />
how to cope with this virus, but in the meantime, we are<br />
facing a toned-down Christmas.<br />
Whilst this is an awful situation for everyone, please<br />
remember in your thoughts those families that will be<br />
facing their first Christmas without loved ones. Christmas<br />
can also be a tough time of year for many who are lonely<br />
and isolated, and sending a simple Christmas card or<br />
making a phone call can mean a lot to them.<br />
With light finally showing at the end of the (admittedly<br />
very long) tunnel, now is the time to look forward to what<br />
you can hopefully enjoy next year; to the party you’re<br />
going to have next Christmas, to next year’s sunshine<br />
holiday, to celebrating birthdays, graduations, proms, to<br />
watching live sport in person or in a crowd down the pub,<br />
going to the cinema and doing all those things that we<br />
have taken for granted for so long.<br />
Never before, certainly in my lifetime, will the sentiment<br />
‘Happy New Year’ be delivered with as much sincerity as it<br />
will be this year. Enjoy Christmas, keep your family close<br />
– but not too close – and from us all at <strong>Local</strong> <strong>Life</strong>, a Happy<br />
New Year.<br />
