Thanksgiving and the winter holidays that follow make for a season of warmth, family, and togetherness. This is when we all try to slow down and make time to be with the people we love most. It’s a time for reminiscing, telling stories, reconnecting, and showing those closest to us just how important they are. After all, although some of the season has been eroded by marketing and consumerism over the years, at its root it is still the season of giving; a time for thinking about others.

Because we think of our clients and readers as part of our firm family, we want to take this opportunity to thank all of you for the time you have spent with us, the trust you have put in us, and the role you have let us play in your lives. It gives us great pleasure to know that we are helping families—young or old, large or small—deal with some of the most difficult and important rites of passage.

And so, during this holiday devoted to recognizing those things for which we are most thankful, we are thankful for you—our readers, our clients, our extended firm family. Thank you for letting us be a part of your lives.

Happy Thanksgiving, and may you enjoy a wonderful holiday season.
