Happy Holidays from China Instrument Parts!
Time flies when you’re having fun. 2016 has passed so quickly, and here we are, getting ready to celebrate Christmas and the New Year. As we prepare for family gatherings this coming weekend, still trying to find that perfect gift or preparing food for an army of relatives, take time to enjoy a deeper meaning behind the holiday season.
Regardless of faith, this time of year should be a reflection of what is important and those closest to us. It is about reinforcing family bonds and friendships, both new and old. As we get older, we all come to realize that the greatest gift of all is time – our time spent with each other and the memories we make.
I encourage you to use your time wisely and mindfully. Pass along your favorite traditions with a younger generation. Years from now, they might not remember what Santa left for them under the tree, but they will remember singing and decorating cut-out cookies, taking a quiet evening walk in the snow, or ringing bells to raise money for a good cause. Even the Grinch learned in the end that, “Maybe Christmas doesn’t come from a store.”
When it comes to finding that perfect gift, keep in mind that the most meaningful gifts are not wrapped in paper. Personally, the best gift I can give to my family is quality time and creating lifetime memories together. For friends, my gift is to make time to get together – schedule dinners and such before another year has passed. And for our business partners, we will continue to respect and appreciate all that you do for us.
To my family, friends, and colleagues, I wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, safe travels, and a reminder to spend time with those you love the most.
