Wishing you all the warmth and joy of the season! Whether you’re celebrating Christmas, Hanukkah, or another cherished tradition, may your holidays be filled with love, laughter, and the company of those who matter most.
Sarah, Jennifer, and I would like to thank each and every one of you for being a part of our lives and allowing us to be a part of yours.

Did You Know?
The start of Hanukkah coinciding with Christmas Day (as it does this year) is a rare occurrence, having happened only 5 times since 1900. Hanukkah follows the Hebrew calendar, beginning on the 25th of Kislev, which shifts around during the November-December period in the Gregorian calendar.
New Year 2025
Astute observers may have already noted that the very next Wednesday Wrap Up will happen on New Year’s Day! It turns out that Christmas and New Year’s Day will both fall on a Wednesday every 5, 6, or 11 years depending on the leap year cycle. The next time? 2030-31.
Once again, Happy Holidays and I will see all of you in 2025!
