In a year with a lot of sound and fury with normal decorum becoming increasingly rare it seems, I have to draw comfort from something.
I draw comfort from God's son, who came down to Earth, became a manual labourer and then went around for three years preaching that there is a better way of doing things than acquiring wealth and power.
This Christmas, my call on people is to play the ball not the person. If you disagree with someone's argument, attack their reasoning and persuade them of their point of view. Don't call them stupid or traitors. Understand why they might think that way.
Otherwise words will soon turn to blows.
On that note, have a safe and non-argumentative Christmas.
