PREMIER ROMANOW'S 1998 CHRISTMAS MESSAGE

Released on December 15, 1998

Friends, once again the Christmas season is here. I'd like to wish

the very best of the season to you and your family and to all the

people who hold a special place in your heart.



This holiday, perhaps more than any other on our calendar, brings us

warmth the warmth of family and friends, of peace and goodwill

during the coldest time of the year.



This holiday also celebrates what one Canadian writer called the

birth of light' at the time of the year when the nights are their

longest and darkest.



The juxtaposition of time and meaning offers us a compelling reminder

that we should nurture the values that have enabled us to build this

great province the values of faith and optimism.



Throughout the history of Saskatchewan, our people have always looked

with faith, past the snow and cold, to see the warmth that lives in

all human hearts.



We have always looked with optimism, past the long dark winter nights,

towards springtime and the rebirth of the light, of tolerance, hope

and love.



Finally, this holiday is time for us to express our affections

and appreciation of family and friends by exchanging gifts with

one another.



I hope that we might take a few moments to consider the many

gifts we all share by virtue of living in this great province and

this great nation of Canada.



And that in considering our gifts of freedom, tolerance, respect,

and community, we might all take a moment to reflect on the

responsibilities that come with our many blessings, and so to

support the many excellent charities, churches and other

organizations working to help extend the season's light and

warmth to everyone.



The late Governor-General Jean Vanier said, Perhaps what

Christmas is all about is to rediscover the child in all of us

that we have hearts, and are capable of love.'



On behalf of my wife Eleanore, our families, and all my

colleagues in the Government of Saskatchewan, I wish you all a

happy, joyous holiday and all the best for a peaceful and

prosperous 1999.



May God bless and keep you all.
