As I said last year and even more so this year, the gift giving part of Christmas is no longer important to me except for my children and grandchild. What is important to me is the meaning of Christmas as well as the spirit of giving, peace, and goodwill! I used to dread Christmas because of the slowdown in available time to work in my career, but I now welcome it, cherish it and am glad to be a part of the joy of the Christmas season. I will be celebrating all that Christmas is for the rest of my life.

We’re here for the people of South Carolina!
