It’s anecdotal of course - so not exactly a scientific study, but it is interesting that over the years the only people who have ever angrily asked why I would care about what was happening in their country have been Americans.
People from other counties see it as a good thing I’d care about them.

4) and even if I didn’t, I think it’s a good thing to be able to care about people and places not directly connected to one’s self.
After all, that’s how Trump was re-elected. Too many people thought all his horrible policies and beliefs “wouldn’t affect them”, so they didn’t matter.

Although we won’t place the figures in the crèche until Christmas Eve, for our Lessons & Carols Pageant on Sunday, I’ve prepared the crèche - turning our hollow altar around and using the inside as the stable.
It doesn’t really feel like Christmas until I can smell the hay in the church.
