Speaker:

Hi, this is Stephanie Maas, and today I just wanna come to you with a holiday message.

Speaker:

I am so excited.

Speaker:

I know this is gonna sound silly, and anyone that knows me, I've got a pretty decent amount of energy.

Speaker:

But it gets to be the holiday season and my enthusiasm and my energy literally go through the roof.

Speaker:

And you know what?

Speaker:

This year it's not gonna be any different.

Speaker:

My tree, my house, it's been decorated out the wazoo for well over a month.

Speaker:

I gotta be honest.

Speaker:

I was listening to holiday music back in October.

Speaker:

Don't care.

Speaker:

We made it.

Speaker:

We're here.

Speaker:

If you can't have fun now, I don't know under what circumstances you can have fun.

Speaker:

Quite frankly, I'm excited just to sit around, drink the things that I like to drink and enjoy the many blessings.

Speaker:

This has been an amazing year for me and for my family.

Speaker:

I am tremendously thankful for the opportunities that we have afforded this year.

Speaker:

I'm tremendously thankful for my clients and my candidates.

Speaker:

I have had so much fun this year.

Speaker:

So with all of that being said.

Speaker:

Let me please share some enthusiasm and say Happy holidays.

Speaker:

Thank you so much for everything you've done.

Speaker:

Sincerely, thank you for letting me stay in touch with you.

Speaker:

I hope you and yours, regardless of how good or not so good your year was.

Speaker:

I hope you can slow down long enough during this time.

Speaker:

Be thankful for the good that is in your world and again, thank you from me.

Speaker:

Hope you have a wonderful and safe holiday with the ones you love the most, whether it's on a Zoom call or a face-to-face, or whatever the case may be, and I hope you get some rest.

Speaker:

Look forward to being back next year and happy holidays.
