Merry Christmas!
Christmas is a time of giving and sharing. We gather with family and friends to renew our bonds, to laugh together, and to reflect on the year gone by.
I cherish each minute in the warm glow of family. As talk turns to the future, I find myself filled with hope for what the new year will bring.
Christmas so often brings out the best of our generous Canadian spirit. We turn to those less fortunate and offer a helping hand.
This year, that helping hand is more important than ever. Those among us who’ve lost jobs or are worried about their future need support. I give my unending commitment that New Democrats will always be there for you.
And my sincerest Christmas wishes to the Canadian Forces sharing Christmas together far from home this holiday season. Our thoughts and prayers are with each and every one of you.
Christmas celebrates the beginning of new hope. That is something we all embrace and take great comfort in during these uncertain times.
Merry Christmas to you from Olivia, Michael, Sarah and I.
Have a safe and joyous 2009!
