On behalf of the Club Red organisation, I’d like to wish all clients, past, future and potential, a very merry Christmas.

It’s a time of year when we think of family and friends, some close by and some who are absent and missed.

It also seems to be a time when people find it in their hearts to take a moment out of their busy lives to give other people something special, perhaps an unexpected gift, perhaps the gift of a smile.

Of course not everyone is so charitable. For years I worked as a retail manager, and I can tell you that for every jovial customer in December, there were usually far more who allowed the stress of last minute gift shopping to transform their demeanor into behaving in ways of which, in hindsight, I’m sure many would have been ashamed.

That’s why I think that this little video clip is a perfect reminder at Christmas of how the world should and could, really be.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Please remember to spare a thought for those less fortunate, the sick and the homeless.

Spare a thought too for those who are working at Christmas to make the world a better, safer place for those who aren’t – such as police, fire and rescue workers, doctors, nurses, support staff, retailers, hospitality workers, and of course Santa’s helpers, reindeers and angels.
