T o each of you, whether in nearby parts or distant lands, Lois and I send our Christmas greetings and our warmest affection.
This is our twentieth Christmas in the AA way of life-God's gift to us all. The thought that this gift has already been shared by uncounted sufferers, whose dearest aim is to give what they have found to still others, is something for more gratitude than our hearts can fully speak.
Praise be to Him who said, "Peace on Earth, good will to men."
Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year, to you all! This is a copy of the Christmas message from the December 1954 Grapevine. A copy of which we have in our Archives. If you like this message there are others like it... The Suffolk Intergroup Archives Committee desperately needs volunteers to help get our valuable archives in order.
We have lost many pieces over the years. Lets save what we have. Please help, give back to AA what AA has given you...
