It's 19 days to Christmas, and I hope that everyone is getting into the Christmas spirit of love, joy, hope and peace. This is something that all our neighbourhoods need, as does our whole world. To all the families that are in the process of creating special memories: some of mine include listening to Patsy Biscoe records and making sure that I leave a sixpack on the bin for the garbo.

Meanwhile, in Swan, there are many households and families that are creating amazing Christmas spirit, such as Christmas lights displays. This includes Peachey Avenue in Kewdale, Larix Way in Forrestfield, Jecks Street in Maida Vale, Pontiac Avenue in Cloverdale, Palmer Crescent in High Wycombe, Glastonbury Way in Wattle Grove and, of course, the infamous Willis Street in Victoria Park.

Please stay safe. I remind the people in this place that we had a special moment in the House where we all came together, and I think that it's really important that we hold onto our loved ones. Hold them tight, and please stay safe. Have a merry Christmas.
