Christian Comment: There are gifts that make a difference

"I’d been told that life in Romsey Abbey gets a little busy during December, and they were right! With weeks of hosting carol services and concerts preparing for Christmas, not forgetting Romsey events including the Lantern Parade and Carols in the Market Place and our own services and celebrations, it certainly has been just that. I love the Christmas season and I’ve been wearing my Christmas jumper and silly hat at every opportunity! It is a joyful season and a time of giving.
