I’m eating breakfast at The Chancellors Hotel on Christmas Eve because this year I’m attending The Manchester Christmas Dinner. Whoop Whoop
This is a movement. The Christmas Dinners are lighting up the country. They come to life because of dedicated steering group members who’ve been meeting (since september!) throughout the dark days of winter. It is their community spirit, team work and self belief. 
Each dinner has a facebook page. Click on the links to see Birmingham, Canterbury, East Sussex, Hackney, Islington, Leeds, Manchester, Oxford, Richmond, Sheffield, Stockport and the Wirral. This is just one of the tables set in Canterbury. It’s going to be magical. 
Merry Christmas dear reader. Thanks for sticking with me throughout this year. Next year is going to be challenging with the court case. These videos from 2013 to 2016 always bring a smile to my face. And I hope they bring a Christmas smile to yours too. Merry Christmas. And if you don’t celebrate Christmas happy holidays.

It looks totally fantastic. Can’t wait to see this continue to grow. Lemn Tour de Force Sissay!
Had the pleasure of helping out today in Manchester, alongside a fabulous group of volunteers … a Christmas Eve to remember … first time I’ve been involved and I hope to be back next year. Sadly I can’t be there tomorrow, but I will be thinking of you all. Happy Christmas Lemn and best wishes for the New Year.
