The Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau<\/span>, today issued the following statement on Christmas:<\/p>\n

“Merry Christmas, Canada<\/span>!<\/p>\n

“Today, our family joins Christians across the country and around the world to celebrate the birth of Christ.<\/p>\n

“Whether you are sharing a meal with friends, keeping the kids entertained in the snow, or spending time gathered around the Christmas tree, this season is full of joy, light, and love.<\/p>\n

“No matter how you celebrate, our greatest holiday traditions are the ones of giving and giving back. Rain, shine, or snow, as Canadians, we take care of each other. From helping a neighbour shovel their driveway to serving a hot meal to someone in need, lending a hand is what brings us closer to the people around us.<\/p>\n

“At this time of year, we are especially thinking of our brave Canadian Armed Forces members serving here in Canada<\/span>and overseas. Thank you for everything that you do to keep us safe and defend the values we hold dear.<\/p>\n

“Today, and every day, let us reflect on how we can live the Christmas message of peace and compassion as we come together and keep moving forward in the new year.<\/p>\n

“From our family to yours, Hadrien, Ella-Grace, Xavier, Sophie, and I wish you a merry Christmas and all the best in 2020.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
