Madam,

What a marvellous way to start the festive season as shown in the 20 December edition of your paper.

Ahmet Acikel should be congratulated on the news that he was offering a free dinner to anyone on Christmas Day at his cafe in Pier Street, Aberystwyth. He is an example to those who treat Christmas solely as an excuse to binge-eat and drink as much without thinking about the bigger picture.

Whether you are a Christian or a Muslim or have no faith at all; to treat others as you would like to be treated is a wonderfully powerful message from Mr Acikel and all the others who think of others especially at this time of year.

Well done and a happy and healthy 2019 to you all.

Yours etc,

Sue Slocombe, Llanon.
