Christmas Is for Sharing

The above video is actually a 2015 advert for Sainsbury's superstores in partnership with HarperCollins Children's Books, all profits donated to a charity improving child literacy in the UK. This lovely Christmas story, based on world renowned author and illustrator Judith Kerr's much loved character Mog, promotes certain values that could definitely change the world if only they were applied for real all year long. At a time when we're bound for the ultimate nightmare, where Big Brother is not longer a threat but a reality close at hand — in particular with the sudden rise in laws and actions to criminalise solidarity and mutual assistance towards the poorest (I am not making this up, it's well documented), I thought it's important to keep that in mind even though most would probably like nothing better than to evade the issue into temporary delusion or permanent escape.

Watch out for the hangover, but have a Merry Christmas anyway!
