The holiday season offers us a special opportunity to extend¹ our personal thanks to our friends， and our very best wishes for the future.

　　And so it is that we now gather together and wish to you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We consider you a good friend and extend our wishes for good health and good cheer.

　　It is people like you who make being in business such a pleasure all year long. Our business is a source² of pride to us， and with customers like you， we find going to work each day a rewarding³ experience.

　　We tip our glasses to you. Thanks again for a wonderful year.

　　HAPPY HOLIDAYS！
