Spread some Love this Christmas, in 2025, and beyond…
Yes, let’s all celebrate this joyous occasion with love in our hearts and let us spread that love in the New Year, too…and beyond.
* Noeline Honter:
Christmas is my favourite time of the year! I simply love the feel of Christmas in the air, the hustle and bustle of Christmas preparations, the delicious aroma of the cake baking in the oven, the glittering Christmas tree, yuletide carols and on and on and on. It’s about family and friends.
But, most of all, it’s The Reason for The Season…The Birth of Our Lord Jesus Christ and the Salvation, Peace, Joy, and Love that He brings. So spread some Love this Christmas, in 2025, and beyond!
My thanks to Ivan for providing me with the opportunity of sharing my wishes with you this Christmas. “And so I’m offering this simple phrase, wishing all my family, friends, fans, and all the kids from one to 92, a Very Merry Christmas, and Peace, Joy and Love in 2025.

I know lots of folks will be eagerly awaiting Santa’s arrival. Well, if you have been good, Santa will surely say ‘hi’ to you. Merry Christmas to all readers of The Island newspaper; and in the New Year I would like to see everybody brush up their ways and learn to love people and accept them for who they are. We can’t change the world but we can “make it a better place for you and me,” like in ‘Heal The World.’

This year Christmas, and the New Year, is going to be amazing!
Record crowds are expected from abroad to celebrate the festive season. Many shows have been planned and most hotels are going out of their way to have fabulous New Year dances.
While enjoying with our friends, relations and fans, do spare a thought for those who are also in need.
Do your utmost to help those people who are in need and make their Christmas and New Year memorable, too. God bless our Sri Lanka.

Christmas is more than just a time for gifts and festivities—it’s about remembering the life of Christ and the teachings He left behind. His message of love, humility, and compassion is needed more than ever in a world plagued by conflict and suffering. This holiday season, may we seek to be instruments of peace, bringing light to those in darkness. Wishing you a blessed Christmas, and a New Year filled with love and hope for all.

Greetings from Toronto, Canada. I was on a 16-day vacation in our beautiful island of Sri Lanka and did a couple of performances as well. It was truly memorable and I will be back one day soon. In the meanwhile, let me take this opportunity to wish everyone a festive and joyful holiday season…and a Happy New Year 2025.
* Melantha Perera:
Every year I compose a Christmas song and these are a few lines from my Christmas song for this year which will be sung by many friends residing in different parts in the world.
“In this festive season let your love be felt by the needy; it’s our duty to make them smile. That special reason for this season where we all can enjoy in style.”
A blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year to all.
* Kay Jay:
Christmas is been celebrated not only by Christians, but by other religious people as well. And Christ means peace, joy and hope, so it’s nice to see the whole world celebrating with joy as they all feel the peace and joy of the Lord Jesus in a spiritual way. I pray for peace and joy to all… this season, and a wonderful New Year to all.
Wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

In a world full of rejection and hurt, we should be confident and love ourselves for who, and what, we are. Shine brightly for the FESTIVE Season and ALWAYS. Season’s Greetings to everyone.
