George VI Delivers His Final Christmas Address to the Britis（在线收听）

As I speak to you today I would like to wish you, wherever you may be, a Happy Christmas.  And though we live in hard and ¹⁾critical times, Christmas is and always will be a time when we can ²⁾count our ³⁾blessings. I myself have every cause a deep ⁴⁾thankfulness for not only by the grace of God, and through the faithful skill my doctors,⁵⁾surgeons and nurses have I come through my illness. And I have learned once again that it is in bad times that we value most highly the support and sympathy of our friends.CE
