The Bishop of Achonry says Christmas is a time to step back and appreciate the positive things in life.
Paul Dempsey says the past year has been difficult for so many with the cost of living crisis and the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
He believes there's great hope at this time of year and particular as the church community gather together without restrictions this year.
