2020 has been a year where we have been asked to change what comes naturally to us all: the human connection. We have gone from a nation of huggers and hand-holders, to emoting with our eyes from a distance of two metres. We have had to dig deep as a society and find a way to express that sense of connection that makes us truly Irish.

If there is one thing we have learned from this year, it’s the importance of telling the people that we love, just that.

The Irish Examiner wants to help their readers connect with the people they love, but may not see, this Christmas.

This is their #HomeAtHeart campaign.

Every Saturday, in the weeks leading up to Christmas, the Irish Examiner will publish as many of these messages as possible in print and online.
