Merry Christmas!

Cecilia, Audrey, and I extend our warmest Christmas wishes to Texans both at home and abroad as we collectively celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and the season of peace that fills our hearts with abundant gratitude for the blessings we receive each day.

Let us also take time to remember the men and women serving in our nation’s military, many of whom will spend this Christmas away from home. May each of these brave Americans feel the warmth of our gratitude as we pray for their continued safety.

Merry Christmas to you and yours. May you have a joyous day surrounded by friends and family.
