Prime Minister Stephen Harper today issued the following Christmas greeting:

Christmas is always a special time, a time when Canadians celebrate the bonds of family, faith and friendship.

This year, we have even more reasons to give thanks – a challenging year ended well and a new year brings hope and promise.

And Canada will welcome the world at the Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver and Whistler. Young Canadians, already winners of the contests to represent our country, will face off against the best athletes in the world. Their eyes are on gold and our hearts are with them.

Laureen, Ben, Rachel and I join in wishing you a very Merry Christmas.

And to them, and all of you, we wish a happy and prosperous New Year.
