Tis the season for celebrations.
Whatever the holiday you are celebrating in December,

Whether you are celebrating the season with sleigh bells through the snow,
or a picnic on the beach, or somewhere in between,

From all of us at The National Institute for Genealogical Studies,
we would like to wish one and all –
a Happy and Safe Holiday Season,
and all the best for the coming year of 2021!
