HAVING FRIENDS AND family away from home is never easy. But this week, that reality is even more magnified for thousands of people.

Plenty of people will be away at Christmas for the first time today. Others will be settled in a new routine, thousands of miles away.

Are you away from the Mam and Dad? Sitting on a beach supping cold drinks Down Under or shovelling snow from a drive in Canada? Heading to the boozer in London?

If you are away from home and would like to send a message to your family and friends here (or if you have family away from Ireland), leave your greetings in the comments section below and share your thoughts on spending Christmas overseas (or on missing them from the homestead).
