This is a joyous time of the year, as we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.
During this blessed season, we hope you will have the opportunity to spend time with family and friends.
I also hope you will join me in saying a prayer for those men and women around the world who will spend this Christmas away from loved ones, as they continue to protect our country and our freedoms.
Christmas is a season of generosity and giving. In this spirit, I hope you will share with those who through illness, poverty, or other challenges, are in need.
I wish you a joyous Christmas and blessed New Year!
