Dear Friend,
Earlier this month, the nation kicked off the Holiday Season with the lighting of the Capitol Christmas Tree. A tradition at the Capitol since 1964, it was an honor to have the tree hand-picked from the Stanislaus National Forest in our district.
I would like to thank the thousands of volunteers who, for months, worked tirelessly planning the Sierra White Fir’s seamless trip across the country, and crafted nearly 3,000 ornaments to reflect this year's theme, “California Shines." This was a true community effort.
I combined photos and sentiments about the Capitol Christmas Tree and the Holidays in a Youtube video I'd like to share with you called “Bringing Our Community Together For The Holidays.”
The Holiday Season is a time to bring families and communities together and to welcome the joys of the New Year. This year, let’s be thankful for the blessings we have and remember the servicemen and women who are not with their families and those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.
I wish you all Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year!
Sincerely,
JEFF DENHAM
United States Representative
