"As we come to the close of another year, let us reflect on our own giving spirit," he continued. "I encourage each of you to call a friend who may not have the abundance of family, check in on an elderly neighbor or say thank you to our service men, women and first responders. The simple act of remembering someone else in need may be the most meaningful gift they receive all year. On behalf of the Utah Republican Party staff, and officers, I want to extend to each of you a very blessed and Merry Christmas."
