Christmas Message from Her Excellency Christine Kangaloo ORTTPresident of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces Fellow citizens,One of the central themes of Christmas, is that of family. Jesus was born, surrounded by His Mother, Mary, and the person who was to play the role of His earthly Father, Joseph. What bound them together, from that day forward, was the love among them as a family. This Christmas, as we reflect on the central themes of Christmas, we are invited to pause and remember what truly binds us together as one human family. In a world often marked by division, uncertainty, and hardship, the message of Christmas speaks quietly, but powerfully: peace on earth and goodwill to all. The spirit of Christmas urges us to choose compassion over anger, understanding over judgment, and reconciliation over resentment. It challenges us to look beyond our differences and to recognize our shared humanity. Peace, we are reminded, is not merely the absence of war or strife; it is the presence of justice, mercy, and respect in our daily lives, in our homes, workplaces, and communities.Goodwill is built through a series of simple actions—listening with empathy, speaking with kindness, extending forgiveness, and offering help to those in need. These small gestures, when multiplied, have the power to heal wounds, restore hope, and build bridges where walls once stood. This Christmas, as we gather with family and friends, let us renew our commitment to peace — peace within ourselves, peace with one another, and peace in the wider world. Let us answer the call to show goodwill, and to open our hearts, not only to those closest to us, but also to the stranger, the lonely, and the forgotten.My wish this Christmas is that we do not relegate the message of peace on earth and goodwill to merely a cherished ideal, but that we elevate it into a lived reality, shaping our choices and inspiring us to be instruments of peace and of goodwill wherever we are. My wish this Christmas is that, through the practice of peace and goodwill, each of us brings hope to the weary, comfort to the suffering, and unity to our communities. And so, I pray that we recommit ourselves to being bearers of peace in our homes, our workplaces, and our society. I pray that the light of goodwill shines brighter than the darkness. And I pray that peace and goodwill will guide our actions, enliven our spirits and lift up our hearts, long after the season has passed.My husband and I extend warmest wishes for a safe, happy and hopeful Christmas 2025.#merrychristmas2025 #peaceandgoodwill #officeofthepresidentt ...
