| Description | Aged ninety-two, Elizabeth Taylor Cadbury wrote this 'New Year Message' for publication in the Birmingham Post. Taylor Cadbury notes that 1949 had been 'the sunniest year for 70 years', writing that 'we can all help to create sunshine in our Homes & amongst those we meet'.
Describing Christmas as a time to bring 'cheer and happiness' into the lives of less fortunate people, Taylor Cadbury remarks particularly on children, noting that she had welcomed four generations of her family to celebrate Christmas at her home in Northfield. She concludes her message by commenting on the importance of remembering children who were suffering at Christmas time and the possibility of 'bringing some ray of sunshine to light the dark places'. |
