00:00It's a time to celebrate the Christmas story and to cherish the Christian values that define it.
00:07Peace, charity and goodwill to all. That is the promise of the season.
00:14And just as so many put their feet up, some truly special people will be pulling on their uniforms
00:22and heading out to work, our NHS staff, emergency services and the brave men and women of our armed forces.
00:32All playing their part, doing their bit to care for the nation and to keep us safe.
00:40Many volunteers will be out there as well, serving food, reaching out to help those lonely or in need.
00:47So, on behalf of the whole country, I want to say a big thank you.
00:55As a nation, we should raise a glass to you this Christmas.
