The President. On this holiest of holidays, Hillary and I wish all of you a very merry Christmas. At the dawn of a new millennium, let us reflect on our hopes, our dreams, the gifts we can give to the future.

The First Lady. From our family to yours, merry Christmas, happy new year, and may God bless you all.
