Christmas Special Post!
Tom @ the BNC
18 December 2020
It's the festive time of year and for those visiting the Hub over Christmas, we thought we'd share some interesting connections between this year's topics and Christmas...
Please note: The Hub will not be moderated between December 24th and January 3rd so your comments and posts will not be publish. Team BNC will return on Monday January 4th.
It's good to switch off from work over Christmas, but if you looking for something to do, why not enter our Christmas competition? See the orange box on the right of this page.
Merry Christmas from everyone at the Burnet News Club!

The White House is famous for its Christmas decorations
Earlier this year we followed the American election. No matter who the president is, The White House (where the president and their family lives), always puts on a stunning show at Christmas. See this year's video below, and click here to read more about Christmas at The White House.
Every year, the president pardons a turkey
OK, it's not strictly at Christmas but at Thanksgiving in late-November. Pardoning a turkey means it doesn't end up on someone's dinner table. It's a tradition at The White House and it only happens for one lucky turkey. This year "Corn" won a public vote to be spared. Read more here.
Six-foot cake delivered to thank NHS workers this Christmas
A baker has thanked NHS workers by making them a six-foot cake in the shape of Santa Claus and a nurse! Read all about it here.
We've been learning all about the Future of Work in this Issue, and it's important to remember that many people in emergency services, among many other industries, work over Christmas to keep us safe and keep the country going. How could you say thanks?

We could decorate posters about how grateful we are to have them and put them everywhere we can to show our appreciation to them.
