Short, sweet, and to the point. I liked this address.
80% of us become disabled before we die. And it doesn't just happen in old age; accident and illness can happen at any time. I became a wheelchair user at the age of 25. By making society more equal and accessible, you're making your own future better.
Wonderful message! I hope it’s heard in Britain and around the world. From a 🇨🇦 mom of two of the most resilant and hardworking disabled young adults who just need the opportunity and support to achieve their dreams. Merry Christmas!
Yes. Well said. My daughter is a performer which is a freelance industry. She has done so well since graduating but everything takes her longer. Asking for support, people who do not understand and just say they can't see anything wrong. Invisible disabilities are misunderstood. Be kind and be aware 🙏🌟
As someone who has a vision impairment, is a guide dog owner, and uses Access To Work every day, I wholeheartedly agree with you Chris. All too often blindness is overlooked as another ‘hidden disability’, and I’ve lost count of the amount of times I’ve been told I don’t look blind. Congratulations on winning Strictly! I’m sure you’ve been told this loads of times, but your presence on such a popular show gave the public a much needed poke to say that people with disabilities can do anyth8ng with determination. As my parents told me when I first the majority of my sight when I was 9; it’s nor that I CAN’T do something, I just do it a different way!
Excellent message. Chris is simply fantastic.
Aways a joy hearing from Chris. Looking forward to seeing him on tour in 2025.
Massive respect to you, Chris! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Merry Christmas.
Nice to see this Alternative Christmas Message by Chris McCausland. Merry Christmas.
How great is that and wouldn't it be wonderful if everyone treated disabled people like Chris said. The world would be a much better place for it.
Good message thank yopu Chris for raising awarness and standing for inclusivity and rights
Well done for highlighting the failings of the government and the necessary changes needed to take place. Society’s attitude to disability needs to change too ❤
What a brill Crimbo message. Makes the point well without being over sentimental.. Well done Chris..❤
Thank you Chris
What a fantastic message. There is "some" good in the world ❤
Absolutely spot on. Well done Chris. I work in inclusive recruitment with highly skilled candidates who are just looking for an employer to give them an opportunity. There are good empliyers out there, however, there need to be very many more
He is inspirational!
Good to see Chris still doing good.

Great message chris
Inspiring message, Thank you Chris. Great that you quoted the “Golden Rule”. Here’s to equality, awareness, and inclusion for 2025 and the years to come. Compassion should be an every practice and not an occasional sentiment.
Merry Christmas Chris! You are a true inspiration ❤🎄🕊️
As one of the 15 million disabled people in the UK, and of the 9 million of working age, thank you, Chris. 🙏
And remember, folks, not all disabilities are visible. X
Thank you Chris as someone who is autistic I have used Access to Work and without it I would not of been able to work. That being said I am unemployed I firmly believe because of my autism. :(
I loved Chris on Strictly.
Well said Chris!
Chris has been a highlight in a dark year ❤
He is an absolutely incredible person
A blind spy, 😂 that's the next comedy movie to happen, in (2025) I'll predict it'll happen. You can't help but love this guy.
Reigning Strictly champion
Merry Christmas Chris McCausland
Well said Chris, anyone's life can change and have to face a disability you are so right, wishing you and your family a Happy New Year 🎉🎉🎉🎉 xx
My dumb arse initially thought he was reading this off an autocue. Merry Christmas, Chris!
Marvellous Man. Marvellous message.
Well done Chris for such an inspiring message 😊
Loving these alternative messages each Christmas.
Merry Christmas Chris; fine words.
Perfect, Chris is a truly inspiring individual.
Fantastic! Chris is a national treasure.
I suspect the 43 day average are outdated for access to work. When I applied in October the website stated 26 weeks before I would be assessed.
These delays make it difficult for me to remain employer. This need fixing.
Well said Chris. I can relate to sight loss. Because I had cataracts in both eyes, which left me nearly blind. Living with cataracts was difficult. I was lucky enough to have had surgery on both eyes to remove the cataracts. My sight has been restored fully now. Which I am grateful for. But I do have an empathy for sight loss, because my temporary experience of sight loss.
See you 2025 Chris, Dublin. Lovely message.
Lovely man, important message 👍.
Excellent Christmas message
Beautiful Chris ❤❤❤❤❤
Excellent Christmas day message, certainly more relevant than the king's.
I would rather have a speech from him every year instead of the king
So much better than whatever tosh Chucky may have said.
Fantastic. Wish my family had have watched this instead especially as two of their children are disabled and struggled to find work to find work ( basic part time at that).
Fantastic, short, sweet, and to the point.
Excellent speech!
Genius. Thank you Chris
Yes
Only King’s speech I care to watch! Love him!
Chris I know you won't see this ... God bless you!
Real Gs remember when Chris was in Me Too!
brilliant ❤❤❤❤❤
I came upon discrimination when I was six because I’m left handed.
chris can make any show he is on an instant classic just by being there. the disabled should be top of this list of people being helped. shameful!
Chris to be PM
I hope the government listened to Chris's message and acts on it
Your voice is big. And it's going to get bigger. And bigger. I love you.
He's a great guy, and an inspiration.... I'd give him all my mince pies, coz I don't like them at all!! ☺️Kx
❤
Much better than Charlie!
The right will call this 'woke'
Damn it I want Chris McCausland knighted
Sadiq Khan getting a knighthood are we having a laugh?
Knighthoods are easy to get when you can grease the right palms....and by grease palms I mean something YT would likely remove. They are mostly meaningless these days.
id rather listen to chris than the doddery old man some call the king
was hoping this would be funny
Did you watch it
How sad for you that you choose not to see, hear, or understand.
All of these messages are the same. Need a new writer for next year
It’s literally not though.
The messages seem the same because the need is still just as strong as it ever was. It's those that don't look for the differences and ways they can participate in improvement who become voluntarily deaf to what's important to listen to, not just hear.
Open borders, allow the non british in your racist country, so media make it. 😂
I mean companies are in business of makinc money and are not support worker's or care home places earn money or make companies money fint have time or money ti support disabled staff
I known this as corporate bosses are cold
This man is amazing
Mince pie haaa
Spy mf5 haaa

Confidence builder.
Strictly hero
Merry Cristmas

Love ❤
