ERICKSON NEWS - CHRISTMAS 2020
This is the twenty first year I have produced this little Christmas page, but this year is marked by sadness, with the passing of Lois in August. That, combined with the ravages of the covid-19 pandemic, have made this a very challenging year for us. That's why Christmas is so especially important this year - it gives us a chance to hit the reset button and cross bases with our friends and family and shout out our Christmas hello. It is also our chance to prepare to celebrate the birth of Christ, the true reason for this Christmas holiday period.
To all our friends, local and remote, we wish you a Christmas filled with peace and joy and hope that 2021 will be a year where the world moves closer together in unity, tolerance and mutual love and acceptance.
You can read the finer details in our Christmas letter: Our Christmas Letter
