We have a glass cone  ‘tree’ lit from the inside which I love. 
One of our presents this year was a scented candle (vanilla, my favourite) and a prettily decorated box of matches.
You may have heard of our New Year Honours List when people are awarded Knighthoods or other means of recognition. Some of the people are ordinary folk doing wonderful work in the community who deserve all the kudos given by such awards.
Some are not. In the face of such darkness, I offer you some words from Desmond Tutu.
