Celebration by Sylvie Lednicky
In Queen Elizabeth II's Christmas speech, she congratulated Britain for its very successful year. She explained that she was proud of her country for their determination and patriotism, and also how of how well they performed and hosted the Olympics. The Queen also reminded her constituants that the best thing they can do for themselves is to serve others, and leave their hearts to the lord. I find it truly inspiring that she is carrying on the tradition of a Christmas speech that has been carried out by the many royals before her. It is wonderful that she is such a great speaker, as her father was the king portrayed in "The King's Speech" with a terrible stutter that he managed to overcome. A Christmas speech gives everyone hope for the new year and even touches me, even though I don't live in Britain.

I think it was really good that she welcomed her country into a new year. It shows that they are caring for their country and its people.
ReplyDeleteThe Christmas Speech must add a sense of pride and nationalism to the country! It sounds like a nice Christmas present, and a great way to start the new year.

ReplyDeleteThis should be remembered by the British people because of her old age, it is said that she may not live through this year. Very sweet and loving for her to do for her country.

ReplyDeleteI'll have to agree with you on this one, Sylvie. I'm not a stickler when it comes to traditions, but this particular ceremony I find just perfectly loving. It is so great and awe inspiring to see the Queen speak such wise words.
