Huge thanks to the NHS, we're eternally grateful

I'd like to thank everyone who works in the NHS at this time of year.

My late husband received amazing care from NHS staff across four different hospitals between 2024-2025 - what the doctors and nurses did for him went above and beyond the call of duty. I'm eternally grateful. J. Flynn, Chelsea

You can keep your hot Christmas dinner - I prefer all the leftovers on Boxing Day. Huge sandwich stuffed with turkey, pigs-in-blankets, cranberry and mayo - now that's class! S. Byrne. Buxton, Derbyshire

Why is Christmas always ruined by some joker saying 'Let's all go for a walk'? The holidays are for telly, chocs and sneaky afternoon naps. Tell me I'm wrong... David Wilkinson, Broadstairs, Kent

This will be our first Christmas without our beloved Bichon Frise, Ruby, who graced the pages of Text Maniacs many times over the years. She was 14 years of age and trotted over the Rainbow Bridge last August. She gave us so much joy and we miss her very much. C.T. West London

What do you call a snowman's tantrum? A meltdown. Sid
