Thanks

It's time for those pre-Christmas year-end emails of encouragement from senior managers in BBC News.

The basic offering from Director Fran Unsworth is a model of brevity. But if you work in Newsgathering, you may struggle to keep reflux at bay. There, the emails have caught something of 2020 Strictly-despite-Covid gushing style, and then given it the full 110%.  I've read 'em, so you don't have to, and that's how it will stay. 

I'll stick with Fran's version.  "To those at work during the festive season - whether you're in the office, on the road, or at home - thank you again for all you’re doing to keep BBC News on air and online during this challenging time."
