From The Desk of Oklahoma Senator Grant Green

Merry Christmas, friends and neighbors! This year has flown by. As we wrap up 2022, I hope we can all take some time to reflect on not only our blessings but our shortcomings, so we can be a better version of ourselves next year. We have to remember we are all fearfully and wonderfully made in His image, so we are all perfect in our own way. It’s important to always give ourselves and others grace. And as we’re counting our blessings, let’s remember why we celebrate Christmas. It’s not about the decorations, finding the perfect gifts, making the best meal, or having the brightest- lit house on the block – those are all wonderful and fun ways to celebrate, but we must always remember we’re celebrating the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I hope everyone gets to spend quality time with their friends, family, and other loved ones, as those relationships are the greatest gift.
