Joyeux Noël!

(CDS) Hey everyone! That is your CDS here with the Canadian Forces Chief Warrant Officer. You know, we’re a family of families in the Canadian Armed Forces.

At this time of year, the holiday season, we want to wish you all our very best for safe, happy, healthy holiday season. A special word to families who are alone, are separated from their loved ones or are deployed.

We’re thinking of your loved ones and we’re thinking of you too. Have the best of great times and holiday cheer this Christmas season. Chief?

(CWO) Hello everyone: To all of our Canadian Armed Forces men and women, I would like to take the opportunity at this time of year to thank you for your excellent work. I am pleased to be here with the Chief of Defence Staff and sending to all of you, to our members and their families, our very best wishes for a joyful holiday season and a happy New Year in 2019.

(CDS) Happy Holidays!

(CWO) Happy Holidays, everyone.

(CDS) Merry Christmas.

When I was young, we used to write letters to Santa Claus and then, we’d have to walk down the street and drop it in the mailbox just before the big day.

Today kids use Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat and messages fly around the world in seconds.

The speed may have changed, but the message remains the same.

Have safe and happy holidays, from the folks in the Information Management Group.

Hi, I’d like to wish the One Navy Team, our military, regular in reserve, our civilians and most importantly our families thank you for an extraordinary year and we wish you a very merry Christmas.

Whether it’s in the North Atlantic, the Africa region or Indio-Asia-Pacific, the team really pulled together this year.

So take the opportunity during this Christmas season to spend quality time with family and friends.

Merry Christmas and have a great New Year. Merry Christmas!

On behalf of the entire team of the Assistant Deputy Minister, Finance, we wish you . . .

On behalf of ADM Fin Team, we wish you…

Joyeuses Fêtes! Happy holidays!

On behalf of the Canadian Army, Chief Warrant Officer Hartnell and I would like to wish you a joyful holiday season and a happy New Year.

Whether you support us from home or deployed on operations, thank you for your service, thank you for your dedication.

2019 promises to be another rewarding, but very busy year. Please take advantage of these holiday seasons to spend time with your family and friends. Happy holidays.

Hi. Let me start with my friends and colleagues in the Materiel Group in saying thank you for the tremendous work you have done this year supporting the Canadian Armed Forces.

To our Canadian Forces friends on deployment at this time of year: You can be sure that we are thinking of you.

Finally, to everybody who is listening, I wish you best wishes for the holiday seasons, merry Christmas, happy New Year, God bless you, look forward to seeing you in 2019. Thanks.

We wish all members of the Royal Canadian Air Force and the Canadian Armed Forces all the best over the holiday season. This year marks the 60th anniversary of NORAD, and we encourage you to watch them track Santa Claus on Christmas Eve. We certainly hope that you get time with friends and family over the holiday season and for those of you that are deployed, we will be thinking of you.

We would like to wish all of our air personnel and all Canadian Armed Forces members at home and abroad a wonderful holiday season. This year, NORAD is celebrating its 60th anniversary; so let’s join them in tracking the movements of Santa Clause on December 24 with our children.

Thank you for your dedication. Have a wonderful holiday season. Be careful and stay safe.

Thank you very much for your devotion and hard work throughout the last year. Happy holidays and please be safe.

On behalf of my staff and my team, I would like to wish an excellent holiday season to all civilian and military members of the Defence Team.

We are extremely proud to serve that team and in particular to contribute to the success and to the protection of our military. In 2019, we intend to continue to do so with the same dedication.

So enjoy the holiday season.

Have a joyful holiday season and a happy New Year, and thank you for the work you do.

Thank you for the excellent work, everyone. A merry Christmas and a happy New Year everyone.

Happy holidays everybody. On behalf of the Policy Group, I just want to take this opportunity to thank all of you on the Defence Team for your dedication and hard work this year.

Hello everyone. On behalf of the entire Military Police, I want to wish all the members of the CAF and their families the very best of the holiday season.

Take advantage of this time to rest and relax. The Canadian Armed Forces are counting on you. Have a wonderful holiday season and a happy New Year.

Hello. Let me introduce myself. I am Capt. Sébastien Carl, a Logistics Officer currently deployed with the Joint Task Force in Romania.

I would like to take two minutes to convey my best wishes of the season to my family, children and friends putting up with the cold temperatures in Canada. I am far away from you at the moment, but I will be with you soon, and we will be able to celebrate the holidays together when I get back. I send all my love. I wish you a happy holiday season, and can’t wait to see you again.

Congratulations for a successful 2018 and all the best in the New Year.

I wish you all the best in the coming New Year.

Joyeuses Fêtes! Happy holidays everybody.

Happy holidays, everyone.  I’m Col Mark Roberts, Wing Commander of 22 Wing North Bay.  On behalf of the Canadian and American folks at the Canadian Air Defence Sector, guardians of peace and proud trackers of Santa, I want you to know that on the 60th anniversary of NORAD, we have never failed at our mission to safely track and escort Santa through Canadian airspace.

So you can rest assured that Santa will be on schedule this holiday season. Happy holidays from all of us at 22 Wing in North Bay.

From the team at the Deputy Minister’s office, we wanted to wish everyone in the Defence Team a very merry Christmas and happy holidays.

I’m from a military family and the ships coming home from sea meant Christmas was beginning in my family. So I understand the joy of family members returning from being on operation and how much you miss them when they’re away.

Please know that we’re supporting all of you and thinking of all of you on this holiday season. Those of you serving abroad and families here in Canada supporting them, merry Christmas to you all.

I’m the Public Affairs elf, and I would like to wish everyone Happy Holidays.

For everybody that is deployed overseas at Christmas in the holidays, we hold you very close in our hearts.
