We wish all regular Taglines readers a very merry Christmas, whether with your family or friends. But don't forget that many folks will be alone, many will be working and many will suffer an event that takes the enjoyment away. People still have accidents, suffer illnesses and even in some cases will die today. Their families still need to be reassured that they are not alone.
Even here imagine the devastation to the life of the owners of the Deux Rivieres hotel in Laguepie, destroyed by fire just two days before Christmas.
We will be enjoying a festive feast with friends, but first Val will be going to Parisot to see some young men and some families who have fled the danger of life in Afghanistan or Sudan and handing over some gifts supplied or paid for by the many supporters of Taglines and Mains Tendues82.
We may not all be believers, but our Christian heritage has imbued us with a respect for our fellow men (and animals!) and putting aside our differences is something we can surely do at this time of year.
