Before we head into the holidays, I wanted to take this moment to wish you and your family a Merry Christmas.

As you put the finishing touches on your holiday plans, pick up those last-minute presents venturing out to the shopping malls, starting at those red and green colors on the traffic map on your phone, I hope you plan to spend some time this weekend with people who are important to you.
