This year will be our second Christmas in July campaign. We invite you to write your Christmas / New Year greetings now.

Ideally, your Christmas greetings will arrive in our Millbrook post box by the end of September, so they can make their way to front line Defenders in time for Christmas.

Here are some Ukrainian phrases for you to consider in your messages. We are told that some writing in Ukrainian brings a bigger happy smile! Your words are precious gifts from you to a Defender who will likely feel rather alone at Christmas time, away so long from the warmth and love of home, family and friends.

Нехай світло Різдва осяє вас духовно.  –  Let Christmas light to shine mentally.

Зі святами! Ми молимось за вас!  –  Happy holidays! We pray for you!

З Різдвом! Бажаю вам добра і звитяги!  –  Merry Christmas! I wish you a kindness and bravery!

З Різдвом Христовим!  –  Merry Christmas!

Веселих свят!  –  Happy Holidays!

Please note: Ukraine is a country of many faiths. Also, not all Ukrainians practice a faith. So, we encourage you to write heartfelt messages of good cheer, love and hope, rather than a strictly religious message.

In case you need some inspiration, here are some sample cards from Christmas 2023 –
