Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to my dear English Students!

It’s that time of year when we look back on the year that was, prepare for Christmas or holiday celebrations, look forward to bringing in the New Year, and if we are brave, we might make some New Year resolutions.

My focus is more on celebrating with my extended family and remembering the whole point of Christmas: the birth of a remarkable person, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus focused on love, mercy, forgiveness, and selflessness (the golden rule), and helping the poor. What the world needs hasn’t changed in 2,000+ years, has it?

I hope you all have a very Happy Christmas and a prosperous 2026! 

If you are alone or would like some company on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day, you could contact any of the Christian churches in your area. I can’t speak for the whole world, but the churches often have Christmas Mass or Services which welcome everyone. You don’t even have to be a Christian and you would be welcome. 

This is my last post for the year. I have really enjoyed the responses and comments from my loyal followers. Thank you for your feedback and for subscribing. It really helps. I’m leaving you with a video from a website I subscribe to: English Enjoyed with Thomas. I hope you enjoy it and I’ll see you next year!
