The spirit of Christmas amplified

Sir, – May I please commend Kathy Sheridan on her insightful and sensitive article ("Christmas is like any time, until it's not", Opinion, December 19th). It was so beautifully written, and applies to so many people at this time of the year that I was moved to tears. – Yours, etc,
