Brethren all,
Although many creeds and faiths celebrate this time of year in their own way, Christmas is special to everyone. To Christians it is a time to celebrate the birth of Jesus, but to everyone it is a time for children and family. It is a time for love and giving. A time to see the look of awe and excitement in the eyes of little children as they anticipate a visit from Santa Claus. A time for families to get together in an atmosphere of peace and harmony. A time to eat too much and (possibly) drink too much without worrying about calories.
It is also a time when we think of those less fortunate than ourselves and exercise charity with an open and generous heart. It is a wonderful time of year!
May I - as your Grand Master, and personally to all that know me - wish you all a pleasant and Merry Christmas, (or any other holiday you may or may not be celebrating) and express a wish that you should have a happy, peaceful, and profitable New Year.
