This time of year is one of reflection and contemplation.   It is a time to be grateful for the blessing of the previous year. It is a time to look forward to a bright new year. It is most importantly for me a time to celebrate the birth of my Savior with loved ones. It is a season of joy and peace. I delight in this season.

As the weather becomes colder outside, my heart is warmed by the bounteous gifts I have received. They are numerous. My most treasured is my family - my wife and six children. 

Many of my cherished gifts and blessings relate to my art. I feel so fortunate to be able to be an artist. I appreciate each of you who subscribe to this newsletter. Thank you for your support and encouragement. Thank you for being a fan of my work. And to those of you who have collected my work over the years, Thank you. For without you, I would not be where I am today.

This coming year promises to be even better than the last. I anticipate a bright year ahead. I will share more about what is coming in my next newsletter. For now, I just wish to express my appreciation to you and wish each of you a blessed Holiday Season. I hope the remainder of 2009 treats you well and that 2010 will bring you great joy, happiness, and prosperity. 

Sincerely,

Keith Bond
