Another year has passed (where has it gone) and now Christmas is again drawing near.

If you are organised, presents will have been bought and wrapped, freezer bursting with mince pies, sausage rolls etc., turkey and other foods ordered ready for the big day. For many this IS Christmas, but some people may wish to revisit the original meaning of Christmas.
