Hello and Blessings to all on CSN and especially to our group in the H&N section

Christmas time is one of the highlights of the year. It’s a time of gathering with family and friends. Sharing gifts, and creating memories. It’s also a time to bless and encourage each other. So this is especially the time I would like to encourage everyone on here to keep a positive attitude and when facing still another issue to keep forging ahead and know we are all here to help and support each other as one group of caring folks. Hopefully, we will not have any new issues to face which would be great. But I do know that we have some new folks on here that have just finished treatment, some have been done for a bit and others are just getting started. Some are having issues with the effects of treatment and more so as we age.

But, Christmas gives us a reason for hope and healing and receiving blessings, and because that is what Christmas is about, Blessing from God by the gift of his son to humanity.

For some on here this Christmas will be different if you are going through treatment or have just completed treatment and possibly can't yet eat at the moment it poses a whole new set of challenges. Some on here are on a permanent feeding tube and are adapted to handling holidays full of festive food and drink. If you are in treatment you may not be feeling well over the holidays. My heart goes out to you folks and I pray you can adapt to your situation and will have the support of family and friends to support you during this time. Let them know there is no need to feel down for you because you are just going through a temporary situation. This year was bad timing but next Christmas will be different.


It is once again Christmas and time for family gatherings, food, gifting others and extending goodwill to all. This is certainly a wonderful time of the year that can fill us with hope. Because Christmas is the story of hope and hopes eternal.

This year has been filled with all sorts of challenges for many people on both a widespread and personal level.

The good news of Christmas is that even when the world or our circumstances change – the message of Christmas is timeless. Because Christmas is about the birth of God’s Son – Jesus. It is about how he came to give us love, hope and joy. That message doesn’t change from year to year. When there is so much bad news and devastation in the world, this is good news worth celebrating!

Your Christmas this year might look different from previous years. It may not match up to the commercial images you see or hopes you have. But the true meaning of Christmas doesn’t depend on the number of gifts under a tree or the type of food on your table. The message of Christmas doesn’t change if you are surrounded by family, missing loved ones for the first time or on your own. It is not affected by the house you live in – or don’t live in. God’s love is for everyone. You are not alone. You are loved, and you can feel hopeful and joyful. That is the true meaning of Christmas.
