While most of us are enjoying our Christmas festivities, spare a thought for those on duty in the Armed services and the Emergency services who are working today.
May you all have a peaceful and uneventful day.

Having eaten too much and relaxing in front of the TV, a very good thought.
Thank you!~
We (I) Appreciate your service and dedication. I've worked Christmas before at least a couple of times and done shift work too. It's hard work but someone currently needs to do it. We appreciate it and honour you for your efforts. I hope you get more than the current like 10% discounts on starbucks or whatever in future :)
Lovely! :))))))
Amen to that, with an extra special thought for those serving abroad, far away from family and loved ones. Come home safe.Quote:

It's something I'm going to be doing with my kids now they're of an age to understand a bit about what's going.
