Christmas has a very special meaning for all of us regardless of our religious beliefs, because it is a holiday built around the concept of the family. I think it has become an almost universal blessing. This gathering for exampleis a strong proof. Once a year, we come together to celebrate as one family despite thedistance and differences.I hope that you all enjoyed our party tonight and while it appears that we will have to continueto face some more challenges in the next year, it is reassuring to see that we are facing them asa unified, hopeful force.Having said this, may the love, joy, and happiness of the season be with you this Christmas, andin the coming year. Thank you!
