BBC Radio Ulster - Thought for the Day from Radio Ulster

Jim Deeds, Thursday 18th December 2025

As time has gone on, our meetings on the street have become joyful affairs.

Over the course of the meal, I had the privilege of hearing parts of their stories.

Children say what they see. They lack social filters.

My thought for today is for those who are grieving today and every day.

But this was no typical frothy travel show

It fills me with a sense of peace like no other.

We need to draw on our endurance when unravelling strings of Christmas tree lights...

The expectations of Christmas can feel overwhelming.

How much of our Christmas story is myth and how much is true?

I don't want my son playing violent games.
