From S.O.F.T Ireland

SOFT Ireland is appealing to members of the general public for a donation to our charity during the Christmas period as it is the season of good will. We support families during pre-natal diagnosis, during the child’s life and after the child’s passing. Fundraising and donations are our main source of income and that is challenging in these difficult times.

Let’s spread the generosity.

SOFT wishes all our members including our boys and girls a Merry Christmas

Remember the meaning of Christmas

An update from Dublin Airport New Control Tower hot off the press for Christmas Eve!

“However, everything lies in readiness for Santa’s flight plans this Christmas Eve. We are maintaining close contact with the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA&AirNav) to monitor Santa’s progress over Irish air space, and to ensure that his reindeers are assisted with a smooth landing. There will be no flights on Christmas Day to make sure Santa has the skies to himself as he approaches Ireland from the North Pole after midnight on Christmas Eve. Santa will have the wind at his back this year so it may be a good idea to go to bed that little bit earlier. Everyone can help ensure he maintains social distance by being tucked up early for bed on the night and stay fast asleep”.

Nothing can go wrong and Santa will be with you shortly!

Christmas is a time for remembrance so why not Light a Candle in your own home.

Lighting a candle has been traditionally signifying light into darkness or a ray of hope etc.

Have you heard about the ‘want, need, wear, read’ gift strategy. It isn’t actually a new concept, it is something worth adopting in these hard times.

Want: This is the toy you have been longing for all year

Need: Whatever you really need, a winter coat, a new schoolbag or a stationery set.

Wear: Christmas Day clothes or some cosy Christmas PJs – or both, clothes never go to waste.

Read: Books as presents

Silent Night

Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin, Mother, Mother and Child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace

Sleep in heavenly peace

 

Silent night, holy night

Shepards quake at the sight,

Glories stream from heavan afar

Heavenly hosts sing alleluia

Christ the savour is born

Christ the savour is born

 

Silent night, holy night
Son of God, love’s pure light,

Radiant beams from the holy face,

Jesus, Lord, at thy birth

Jesus, Lord, at thy birth
