The holiday season can be an especially trying time for our service men, women, and families. Military service and deployment create empty seats at holiday tables, religious services, and celebrations.

I've got two young children, so holidays are not the same as they used to be. There are now two types: family holidays and holidays you need from that holiday.
After all, the best part of a holiday is perhaps not so much to be resting yourself, as to see all the other fellows busy working.
Christmas comes during a season when the Earth is in its darkest time. It's a holiday for the family and for everyone.
We're getting ready to sit down at the table and have Thanksgiving, and there's people that are not with their families. There are people that are in dangerous areas, putting their lives on the line to keep our country free, and I think that's something we should all celebrate every day.
The holidays are only holy if we make them so.
I find that it's the simple things that remind you of family around the holidays.
A holiday is when you celebrate something that's all finished up, that happened a long time ago and now there's nothing left to celebrate but the dead.
The holidays are a rough time for the homeless, but it's a year-round problem we have to solve.
I love holidays. It's such a wonderful time for the whole family to be together and not have to worry about schedules and that kind of thing.
The holidays are a way to get away from the pain of the year, creating something people can laugh at. That's a gift.
