Why?
Governor Parson told his reasons for closing the offices this year. He said,
It has been a challenging year for the state of Missouri, but we are so thankful for our state team members. While we can never thank them enough for their hard work, this is one small way we can show our appreciation.
He went on to bless the citizens of the state of Missouri by saying,
This Christmas, may we all take time to rejoice with loved ones and reflect on the blessings we have in our lives. Teresa and I wish everyone peace, health, and happiness throughout the coming year. From our family to yours, merry Christmas and happy New Year!
Parson seems to coincide with President Trump in wishing everyone a Merry Christmas,unlike the previous President who wished Happy Holidays, notably omitting Christmas each year. [1].
May Missourians take to heart what blessing our Governor is bestowing upon us as we look forward to another year.
