Dear Friends and Neighbors,

From my family to yours, we send our love and prayers to all during this unique holiday season. Regardless of how we celebrate the holidays, whether that be Christmas, Hanukkah, or any other holiday traditions, it is what is in our hearts that matters most. This pandemic has taken a dramatic toll on us, claiming the lives of far too many and causing us to be away from our loved ones.

I want to stress to everyone to continue practicing proper social distancing and to wear your masks. We are in this together and we will get through this together. Please stay safe, stay calm, and stay committed to loving one another in the best traditions of our holiday cheer. Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and Kwanzaa!

For my full holiday message, please watch this video.

With all my love and labor,

Hon. Anthony J. Portantino

Senator, District 25
