Christmas greetings from DignityUSA

Dear Dignity Members and Friends:

As we deal with the last minute rush of preparing for the holiday, I want to take this opportunity to wish each of you a very Merry Christmas. If you're like me, too often I get so focused on buying that certain gift and mailing out enough cards, that I loose sight of what this holiday is all about. I hope you are able to take some time from the craziness and think and pray about this marvelous gift in the birth of Jesus.
