This year’s theme is ‘Gather Around’. It celebrates the
stories and traditions that bring us together this special time of year. As
members of one American family, we are united in a story built over the course
of two centuries. The holidays serve as an opportunity to recall our Nation's
journey, reflect on our blessings, and to remember those who serve and
sacrifice for our freedoms. It's a season when each of us can do our part to
care for one another.
