00:00:00,352 --> 00:00:03,370
(festive music)

2
00:00:03,370 --> 00:00:06,040
- Hey everybody, Major
General Brad Spacy here again

3
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:08,380
with Chief Master Sergeant Brian Blais,

4
00:00:08,380 --> 00:00:12,010
and we're gonna say Merry
Christmas and Happy Holidays.

5
00:00:12,010 --> 00:00:14,580
You know, it's my favorite time of year.

6
00:00:14,580 --> 00:00:17,130
I still feel like I did
when I was four years old.

7
00:00:17,130 --> 00:00:18,820
I get the same excitement.

8
00:00:18,820 --> 00:00:20,970
I wake up super early and get my wife up,

9
00:00:20,970 --> 00:00:22,510
and I look forward to opening presents

10
00:00:22,510 --> 00:00:23,510
and eating too much food.

11
00:00:23,510 --> 00:00:24,370
I can't help it.

12
00:00:24,370 --> 00:00:25,830
It's what I think about.

13
00:00:25,830 --> 00:00:26,980
But it's more than that.

14
00:00:26,980 --> 00:00:28,556
It's spending time with my family

15
00:00:28,556 --> 00:00:32,080
and taking time off and
thinking about all the things

16
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:34,840
that it means to be an American
and the benefits we have.

17
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,161
So this year, I hope
you can take some time

18
00:00:37,161 --> 00:00:40,597
and relax and enjoy the hard
work you've done all year.

19
00:00:40,597 --> 00:00:42,490
- To all our war fighters out there,

20
00:00:42,490 --> 00:00:45,080
whether you're TDY, back
at home with your family,

21
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,020
deployed downrange,
supporting an installation

22
00:00:48,020 --> 00:00:49,890
that may have just been hit by a storm,

23
00:00:49,890 --> 00:00:53,030
we want to wish you Happy
Holidays and Merry Christmas.

24
00:00:53,030 --> 00:00:54,760
- That's right, take some time.

25
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:55,940
You earned it.

26
00:00:55,940 --> 00:00:56,851
Merry Christmas.

27
00:00:56,851 --> 00:00:59,518
