Hello. I'm Paul Wohlers, the United States Ambassador to the Republic of Macedonia.
My wife Mary Jo and I would like to take a moment to send to all the citizens of Macedonia our warmest greetings for a joyous holiday season.
In the United States, this is traditionally a time to reflect upon our blessings and to give something back to our community.
Neighbors lend helping hands, students volunteer in shelters, and families find ways to meet the needs of others.
Here in Macedonia, we also are blessed to have wonderful support from many Macedonians in helping others.
Events from the past year, such as the Red Cross blood drive in September
and the work of Habitat for Humanity in providing new homes for needy families,
demonstrated your commitment and support to families in need.
So in this time of celebration and merriment, let's also remember to reach out to those who are less fortunate.
And of course, in this holiday season, we also hope everyone has the opportunity to spend time with family and friends.
On behalf of our family and the entire staff at the U.S. Embassy, Happy Holidays to everyone.
