May we  at 250News take this opportunity to wish all of our readers, contributors, and advertisers, a Merry Christmas.   We  especially want to extend  best wishes to those  who are not able to share today with their  loved ones  because they are required to work today,   or perhaps  cannot  make the journey  to be with those they love,  or maybe those they love the most  are no longer  with us.

Whatever  your circumstance,  we  offer  our best wishes   and  hope this Christmas  brings you the gifts of good health, joy and peace and that you find a way to make  Christmas the best it can be.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Elaine Macdonald-Meisner  and the 250News Team
