This time of the year is a special one. It is a time for friends and family to come together and enjoy each other's company. It is a time for presents, for giving and receiving, and for sharing joy and cheer. Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or another holiday, it is my sincerest hope that you find love and peace and have a wonderful holiday season.

You're all wonderful people and should feel good about yourselves.

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to all.
