Finally! After three harrowing years, we are finally able to enjoy a relatively normal Yuletide Season with our friends and loved ones. Several of us were unable to see our family and friends at all last year. So many lives have endured devastating levels of physical, mental and emotional aguish since March of 2020. Inflation, economic instability, political divisiveness, and international conflict have only compounded the strife that has engulfed the planet.

However, glimmers of hope are slowly but steadily appearing on the horizon. Despite the emergence of new variants, it seems like we are in the late stages of the Covid-19 pandemic. The incredibly brave people of Ukraine have galvanized nations around the world in support of their defiant stand against Putin’s aggression. Prices for everything from orange juice to real estate are apparently stabilizing. Everything is predominantly open and we finally can travel to all corners of the globe. In short, things are heading in the right direction.

Knowing that we have navigated our way through this arduous period to the point where we can now celebrate together is what makes 2022’s festivities extra special. At this time, we wish you, your family, friends and everyone in your circles a safe, memorable and joyous Holiday Season!

Stay well,

Mike
