Wishing You a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Dear Iconic Marriages Community,
I haven’t been feeling well towards the end of the year. So, my family and I will be taking a small vacation until January 2nd to reflect, rest and rejuvenate for the upcoming New Year.
This will be our last newsletter until then.
As we approach the end of another year, I want to take a moment to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! This season is a time of joy, reflection, and celebration, and I hope you and your loved ones are surrounded by warmth and happiness.

The Meaning of Christmas
Christmas has a rich history, once celebrated as a week-long festival. For us Christians, it is a time to remember the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. While we acknowledge that His birth was likely in the Spring and the holiday has pagan origins, this is the special time we set aside to honor Him. Jesus is the reason for the season, and His message of love, hope, and redemption is at the heart of our celebrations.
Celebrating Diversity
This season, we also celebrate the diversity of our community. A heartfelt shout-out to our friends who observe other holidays:
Muslims: May your festivities be filled with peace and joy.
Jews: Wishing you a bright and joyful Hanukkah.
Kwanzaa: Celebrating unity and culture during Kwanzaa.
Winter Solstice: Embracing the beauty and significance of the Winter Solstice.
A Season of Giving and Family
Let’s remember that this season is about giving, family, and celebration. It’s a time to come together, not to argue over politics or social reforms. Let’s encourage peace on Earth and focus on the love and joy we can share with one another.
Peace on Earth and a Happy New Year
As we look forward to the new year, let’s carry the spirit of the season with us. May 2025 be filled with peace, happiness, and new opportunities for growth and connection.
May we say rest in peace to those who did not make it with us on the journey. We pray for their everlasting souls, we know grief is the cost of the love we have for them, and that every day is a gift from the Lord.
Thank you for being a part of this incredible community. Wishing you and your families a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!
With heartfelt gratitude,
Nicole Pinkston Founder, Iconic Marriages
