Good morning

Good morning, members! I (Maddie) am over the moon to be with you all for this morning’s newsletter. Christmas Eve has to be my favourite day of the year. You can feel the anticipation of Christmas day in the air. You get to see all the kids excited about Santa coming, and so many people out and about smiling, catching up with family and friends. I’m extra excited about Christmas Eve this year because our lovely friends over at Norwegian Cruise Line* are offering you a very special Christmas and New Year’s offer*. This offer is only available until January 4, 2024* and my goodness, it’s a great deal!

I know we’re called the Seniors Discount Club, so it is our job to deliver you these discounts, but Norwegian Cruise Line’s* latest offer has to be one of their best. For a limited time only, they are offering amazing discounts of up to 50% off* their 20 modern ship fleet sailing to over 450 destinations around the world–plus, you'll get a bonus $500 off your cruise*. But you have to be quick! So why not book yourself a last-minute holiday as a Christmas present from you, to you, love you*!

Now, before we dive into today’s stories, it is a Sunday, so as always, we have this week’s quote. I stumbled upon this one when I was chatting to a friend about Christmas presents during the week, and she said, ‘Love the giver more than the gift’. As with many of you, my Christmas budget has been tight this year, so I’ve taken up a lot of your advice and made homemade presents instead. It’s cheaper, sure, but at the end of the day, it’s not about presents, it’s about the giver–the people you choose to spend your time with. So, remember, the greatest gift of all is the people around you!
