A BELATED MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE! —from Michael

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16

It's been a busy season and it's hard to believe Christmas has come and gone. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas with your loved ones and all received some great gifts and presents.

The time spent with family and friends, and the love we share is the spirit of the season.

Cherish this time.

While we do all the trappings of Christmas, and the celebration of the birth of Christ, because all of my brothers and sisters (and their spouses) were either off at med school, or doing rotations, or working, undoubtedly, someone was always on call during Christmas. So, we actually exchange the bulk of our presents on New Year's Day.

Exchanging gifts on New Year's Day is a Japanese tradition. It's a double bonus... it pays to be half Japanese.

And while it is great to indulge in the commercialism of Christmas and give and receive presents, I try not to forget the importance of the spirit of the season.

One of the finest gifts I receive is the friendship and support from all of you, each and every day. It's Christmas 365/24/7...

Thank you.

I send my love, thanks, and prayers, to all of you.

May God bless you all, may He keep you healthy, and may God continue to bless this great country of ours.

By the way, one of the other great presents I receive every day is CSPAN...

Be safe out there.

With Love,

-m
