Haemosexual wishes you a peaceful Christmas and New Year

As winters grip tightens the darkness seems to be taking over and for some that is exactly how they are feeling. A gradual withdrawal into a dark world of loneliness, heartache and dread. The pressures of the global holiday season never get any easier or less painful for some.

It is with compassion that I recognise the fact, not everyone is looking forward to Christmas.

Some people don’t like being told to be in a jolly and festive mood from the first Christmas song played in the shops, normally sometime in October / November…Errggg

Some people are not surrounded by large wonderful families.

Some are having problems during Christmas and may be overcome with great sadness when we remember the loved ones who are not with us. Something our communities know all too well.

For many it is their first Christmas without a particular loved one and many others lost loved ones at this time.

And, many people simply have no one to spend these times with and are overcome with loneliness.

We all need understanding, caring, loving thoughts right now.

This year I am reaching out to all those who struggle through the festive period.

From Friday 23^rd December 2016, I will be adding pictures, video’s and other bits further down in this post, hopefully bringing a smile to your faces. Whilst at the same time sending out the message, you are not alone as I am thinking of you.

For those who will be celebrating on full throttle, have a fabulous time, play safe and take care through this wonderful / difficult few weeks.

The song also brings a sense of hope as we are reminded about those we cannot see. By coming together we can make a difference. As you listen to this song I hope it can bring you a little comfort to know you are not alone.

Singer George Michael has died at his home at the age of 53.

The star, who launched his career with Wham! in the 1980s and had huge success as a solo performer, “passed away peacefully” on Christmas Day in Goring, Oxfordshire, his publicist said.

Rest In Peace George

“Outside” is a song by George Michael, released on Epic Records in 1998. It was released on 19 October 1998 as the lead single from his 1998 greatest hits album Ladies & Gentlemen: The Best of George Michael.

“Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go” is a song by the British duo Wham!, first released as a single in the UK on 14 May 1984. It became their first American and UK number-one hit. It was written and produced by George Michael, one half of the duo. In 2015, the song was voted by the British public as the nation’s 13th favourite 1980s number one in a 2015 poll for ITV.

One of my many favourites

“I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)” is a Grammy Award-winning #1 song performed by Aretha Franklin and George Michael as a duet in 1987. It was written by Simon Climie and Dennis Morgan. It also stands as Franklin’s biggest hit at Adult Contemporary radio, spending several weeks at #2.
