You’ve worked hard over the last several weeks to make this celebration special for those you love.  Enjoy the feast and the festivities and the gathering of loved ones.

May this Christmas bring you the gift of faith, so you can believe even when common sense says you shouldn’t; the gift of hope that life can be filled with peace, hospitality, and joy; and the gift of love that makes everything else worthwhile.

There are in the end, three things that last: faith, hope, and love.  The greatest of these is love.

Merry Christmas.
