A period of anticipation is marked by hope, peace, joy, and love. The anticipation revolves around an extraordinary individual whose birth brought illumination to the world. Throughout this year, 2025, you and I have shared numerous experiences. We have laughed and argued, engaged in conflicts, and at times, betrayed and deceived one another. Notably, we have attended church services dressed in white attire, radiating an aura akin to celestial bodies in the sky, and presented our best smiles, potentially deceiving others. Our discussions frequently centered around hope, peace, love, respect, Christianity, and politics. Nonetheless, as the year draws to a close, we have come to realize that life's brevity is offset by the birth of Christ, which prolongs life in spirit and instills hope. I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. May the forthcoming year bring you tranquility. Manuia
