Happy Holidays

Dear Carson City Democrats,

It's so good to be home for the holidays.

I'm really grateful to spend two days at home in Santa Fe before Barbara and I head back out to Iowa. We flew in late last night, and then got up early this morning to have breakfast together at home.

Now we're enjoying a quiet, reflective day together before folks start coming over tonight. Christmas at our place means family, friends, food and laughter. And don't tell Barbara, but I'm hoping I can convince her to go for a horse back ride in the snow later on ... just call me old-fashioned.

It means so much to us both that I'm able to take this break. We've been through a lot this year -- and this campaign has meant a lot of time apart.

But Barbara and I agree it's worth it. And the one thing that keeps us both going is the unwavering support of people like you.

So thank you for the gift of your faith in me. Merry Christmas from Barbara and me -- and here's wishing you and yours the very best this holiday season.

Have a terrific holiday!

Bill
