In the midst of rushing to the stores (or online) in search of gifts, attending parties, and traveling, let us all remember to embrace our loved ones, cherish our special moments together, and thank God for our many blessings. In the spirit of giving, may we also be reminded to treat others with warmth, especially those among us in need of a helping hand. I am thankful for many reasons this season, and appreciate the faith bestowed in me once again to represent our community. My family looks forward to spending the holidays together. From all of us, we wish you a Christmas filled with happiness, love, health, and peace.”

State Rep. Dane Eagle:
“In 1981 President Ronald Reagan addressed our nation at Christmas. Part of his remarks included the following passage, “On Christmas, we celebrate the birth of Christ with prayer, feasting, and great merriment. But, most of all, we experience it in our hearts. For, more than just a day, Christmas is a state of mind. It is found throughout the year whenever faith overcomes doubt, hope conquers despair, and love triumphs over hate. It is present when men of any creed bring love and understanding to the hearts of their fellow man.” At this special time of year, we reflect on the miraculous life that began in a humble manger 2000 years ago. That single life changed the world, and continues to change hearts today.
Over the coming days as we gather together with our families and loved ones to celebrate this joyous season, I wanted to take a moment to thank you for the privilege of representing your interests in Tallahassee. I am humbled by and so grateful for the trust you have placed in me. Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and Happy Holidays to all. My staff and I wish you glad tidings and a bright and prosperous new year.”
