Please know that our families are wishing you and yours all the best at this Christmas time. Now you might be thinking what do you mean by “all the best”. It certainly is different from previous Christmas periods. For me it used to mean the best of Health, Happiness and Holiness (meaning spirituality) sprinkled with Hilarity. The 4Hs as I like to refer to them, and they are still possible but in different ways. I would have liked to have started a 4H club, but a farmer, wanting to encourage a youth component in agriculture in 1901 beat me to it. The 4Hs in Canada’s 4H clubs stand for Head (managing, thinking), Heart (relating and caring), Hands (giving and working) and Health (being and living).
