Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind. To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas.
-Calvin Coolidge
As the year draws closer to an end, I wish all the residents of the 24th District a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. It is my hope that your year has been filled with joy and that your holiday season can be spent with loved ones, friends and family. Many, unfortunately, will not be able to see their loved ones this Christmas, particularly our service men and women stationed overseas. They have made many sacrifices in being apart from their families so we can continue to enjoy our freedom this holiday season. Let us join in their families' prayers for a speedy and safe reunion.
Christmas is a unique time of thanksgiving and reflection. This year, I am thankful for a brief moment at home with my wife and family to celebrate the meaning of Christmas that "unto us a child is born." I am grateful for the many of you who will offer countless acts of love to those in need in our community during the holiday season. And I am honored for the opportunity to continue serving the 24th District in Congress.
Again, I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.
Sincerely,
Congressman Kenny Marchant
