Colombo is looking festive this year, with Christmas trees and decorations lighting up our streets
Families and friends can spend time together at specially curated events, festive activities, and Christmas carnivals
While being conscious of the economic crisis we are currently facing, the festive season has also offered a respite to those who have been on survival mode not just for most of the year but also the past few years
This is why it is crucial that we understand the true meaning of Christmas, and spread love, peace, and joy, but also lend a helping hand to those who need it
And while we try our best to bring a smile or at least a sense of relief to another, it is also important to be kinder to ourselves
Merry Christmas!
