We must continue to promote peace and safety. For others, it is time for meditation, prayer and a fulfilment of spiritual growth, and inner peace. For many it is a time to joyfully reunite with our families and friends, to re-ignite bonds, and celebrate the gift of life. Internationally, the war in Ukraine, the accompanying supply chain challenges, and global inflation have had our undivided attention. On that note, let us also remember families who are facing their first Christmas having lost a loved one. As the late Queen Elizabeth II said in her last Christmas message,” It is the simplicity of the Christmas Story that makes it so universally appealing: simple happenings which formed the starting point of the life of Jesus- a man whose teachings have travelled through generations and time and has been the cornerstone of the Christian faith.

Proud of the victories on and off the pitch/court. The entertainment will be off the charts on and off the pitch. The team who managed the whole build and opening deserve a medal. Proud to be part of the Sarries family. Listening to Owen in a team meeting, even I think I might be able to go out there and hit a ruck… Thank you to every single member of Saracens Group staff and players. This is huge testament to Lucy Englander and our partnerships team who set the bar very high. We trended on Twitter with the Ben Earl re-signing content and who knew Jamie and Elliot might have an acting career post rugby with their re-signing video and “Couples Counselling”. Our Saracens Women have had a disjointed start to the season with Saracens proudly having 19 players taking part in the Rugby World Cup. There was a two hour interview with an independent panel at Twickenham and I came out feeling so proud and energised to be working with such a fantastic team of people who are all hugely ambitious for the future of our Saracens Women’s team. The atmosphere at StoneX has been brilliant and I have loved hearing all your passionate voices. Our Pioneers have given 3,500+ volunteer hours of their time so far this season, and a total of approaching 800,000 hours since the programme started!

For Christians, this period marks the excitement and promise brought to the world through the birth of Jesus Christ. Hope, joy, peace and love extend beyond the ...

Our mission is clear, and we have never lost sight of our commitment to deliver. We must also remember our collective responsibility as a community to help one another throughout the year – and we must do all we can to continue to lift each other up. As we look back on this past year, we recognise that the world is experiencing threats to economic and social stability. Loss of a loved one, loss of a job or an opportunity. Throughout this season, our community renews family ties and spends quality time with friends. We have journeyed through Advent, and Christmas is upon us.

Five years later, she made her first televised Christmas broadcast. As the longest-serving British monarch in history and a Queen who ruled in a time of great technological development, Queen Elizabeth II made the Christmas speeches her own. As depicted in the 2010 film, The King's Speech, King George VI had a speech impediment, which made the increasingly prominent role broadcasting had in the work of a monarch challenging. The first Christmas speech was broadcast live from the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk, in the east of England, and followed a special programme called All the World Over, where British citizens from the Empire shared their Christmas greetings.

"With the sad news of the Queen we didn't think they'd be coming but they are sticking to tradition and who knows Prince Louis might be coming for the first time. "I think it's going to be mixed emotions if I'm being totally honest with you" she said, but added: "I think people are on board with the royal family, supportive of this new royal family moving forward, and again us all coming together. "And so he will be constantly measuring up what that expectation is with what he wants to say, who he is and what he's going to present...and I am sure he will be very authentic to himself." The Archbishop said: "On the ground, we know that faith and religion, and belief, matter to people and so if the monarch knows that this matters to people I think he will address it. Religious faith and diversity are not topics the King is "shying away from" and are likely to be addressed in his first Christmas message, according to a religious leader who has spent time with him in recent weeks. Archbishop Angaelos, the Coptic Orthodox Archbishop of London and papal legate to the UK, has attended a series of festive events with the King, including an advent service in Kings Cross in London and the

This is one of the ways in which I think that the message of Christmas makes sense in a secularised society. So, perhaps this Christmas might be a simpler, more thoughtful one, expressing the sort of empathy and imagination shown by our homeless guest, not only for other people, but for the Earth, and making every gift, however simple, more beautiful, because it’s given with love. The younger generations can see that a throwaway culture harms the planet — fast-fashion clothing may raise eyebrows if unwrapped on Christmas Day. As our Wren church was consecrated in 1684, we were in the right place to be discussing the aftermath of the only 11 years of Republic that England has had and the debate went long into the evening. As this year’s John Lewis advertisement — with its focus on children in care — suggests, society is thinking about deeper themes, beyond the determination to have a good time. Nostalgia plays a large part in our celebrations as adults: it is a set of rituals to return to, which anchor us somehow, especially if the memories are happy ones.

The power of the Christmas broadcast lies in its intimacy; its direct transmission to each of us in our own homes. The technology that enables that was reflected upon in the first broadcast (by radio), when George V addressed himself ‘To men and women so cut off by the snows, the desert or the sea, that only voices out of the air can reach them’. There will be another laugh missing this year for the King and the rest of the royal family. The idea of the Christmas broadcast was first proposed by Lord Reith in 1922. In the build-up to this year’s broadcast there has been much speculation about content: about what the King might say about Harry and Meghan, and – more importantly – about the late Queen, about his coronation in May and possible indications of his vision for his reign. For the royal Christmas broadcast is important, and this year’s of course marks a new era.
