Merry Christmas!

December 21, 2006

As your Member of Parliament, I wish you the very best the season has to offer. I hope you have the opportunity to enjoy time in the company of friends and family and relax.

Throughout the yuletide season, Canadians everywhere will gather to sing Christmas carols, skate on outdoor rinks and share the fellowship that brings us all a little closer together at this time of year.

For at least a few days, I hope we’ll take a break from our hectic lives and reflect on how fortunate we are to live in the best country in the world.

This good fortune, we owe to the generations of Canadians who have worked so hard to build our country and made tremendous sacrifices to keep it strong, united, democratic and free – especially the men, women and families of our Canadian Forces.

So in this holiday spirit, please accept my best wishes.

However you celebrate Christmas – going to parties, exchanging gifts with family and friends, worshipping in church or helping out less fortunate neighbours – I wish you and your loved ones a very merry Christmas and a happy, prosperous 2007.

Thank you for your support.

Sincerely,
Rahim
