Welcome to the latest edition of n ouch magazine, celebrating Christmas 2013. We make no
bones about it - this edition is set out to tell you what Christmas is actually about - hopefully taking
away some of the glitter and tinsel, the myth and the ‘seasonal atmosphere’ and getting right to the
heart of this amazing time of year, finding out what it really means.
Also Alderholt residents, Joyce and Colin Dewhirst, have written about some of their own life
experiences which we know you will find both interesting and perhaps challenging. Do read it and
feel free to let us know what you think!
Please do keep ‘in touch’ with us! If you have any questions or comments on anything in this
magazine, please do let us know! We would love to hear from you.
