   Christmas message we ALL should take to heart for these people who keep   
   our lives running smoothly:

   Just a quick Christmas message: take care of those who take care of you. Pay   
   it forward. Life is unpredictable. While things are good, share with the less   
   fortunate. Because when something happens to you and your life goes sideways,   
   we'll remember your    
   generosity.   
      
   We're in this together. We got you.   
      
   Merry Christmas.
