Hi there, I want to take a moment to wish you and your loved ones a happy holiday season!

This year has brought challenges to millions of New Yorkers but has also proven what we’ve always known: Our state is resilient, our people are strong, and our communities are always willing to lend a helping hand.

No matter what you celebrate or how you celebrate it, I hope your holiday season is joyful and restful for you and your family.

I’m looking forward to spending time with my family, including my granddaughter Sofia, and rooting for the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.

Happy Holidays.

— Governor Kathy Hochul
