Consul General's Holiday Greeting

December 24, 2009

I am pleased to send my warmest greetings to all who are celebrating Christmas.

The Christmas holiday celebrates the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem, his life, and his teachings of love, kindness, and peace. May the joy and spirit of the Christmas season inspire each of us to do our part to bring peace and compassion to the world, not only during this time of year, but always.

Merry Christmas and a bright and prosperous New Year 2010.
