Merry Christmas 2024

Dear Collectors and friends,

As the gentle glow of Christmas lights fills our homes and hearts, our wish this year reaches far beyond our own doorstep. For children, we wish for wonder and laughter—may their days be filled with play, discovery, and the boundless joy that reminds us all of the beauty in innocence. May they always know they are loved, cherished, and safe, and may the magic of the season light their way toward a future full of hope.

For families, we wish for togetherness, understanding, and warmth. Whether bound by blood or by choice, may their bonds grow stronger, and may they find solace in each other during times of hardship. May laughter echo in their homes, forgiveness heal old wounds, and love remind them that the greatest gifts are not wrapped under the tree but shared at the dinner table and in whispered goodnights.

For animals, we wish for care and kindness. May the strays find shelter, the wounded find healing, and the neglected find love. May this season ignite a deeper respect for the creatures who share our world, so that they may know compassion not just on Christmas but every day.

For the lonely, we wish for the warmth of human connection. May they find a kind word, a gentle smile, or a thoughtful hand extended in friendship. Let them know they are not forgotten and that even in solitude, they are part of a greater whole. May they find peace in the quiet and hope in the promise of brighter days ahead.

For the homeless, we wish for refuge. May they find open doors and open hearts, where warmth replaces the chill of the winter air. May they feel the dignity and respect they deserve, and may the spirit of giving extend beyond the season, transforming lives and lifting them toward stability and peace.

And for the earth, our shared home, we wish for renewal and care. May we tread more lightly on her soil, protect her rivers and forests, and nurture her beauty. May this season remind us of the abundance she provides and inspire us to give back, ensuring her gifts endure for generations yet to come.

This Christmas, our wish is simple: may love, compassion, and hope find their way into every heart and corner of the world. For the young and the old, the furred and feathered, the lonely and the lost, may this season kindle the flame of humanity’s better nature. And may we carry its light into the year ahead, spreading warmth far and wide.
