The Queen's Christmas Message has always been a highlight of my Christmas Day, ever since Queen Elizabeth II came to the throne in 1952. At home, when I was growing up, the push would be on to have Christmas dinner eaten and everything cleared away, so that the whole family could gather around the radio - then, in later years, the TV - to listen to/watch the Queen, at two o'clock in the afternoon (or was it three o'clock??).. What changes she - and we - have witnessed during those 60 years of her reign! I have just 'gathered around' my netbook to watch this year's message - and now I am passing along the link to you, so that you can click below and enjoy the Queen's Christmas Message whenever you wish - regardless of whether or not you have your Christmas dinner dishes washed and put away!
Christmas greetings to all my faithful, and patient, readers!!
