The Presidency of the Ukrainian Central Union of Consumer Societies and the Central Committee of the Trade Union of Workers of Consumer Cooperation of Ukraine sincerely wish you Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
May these holidays, the harbingers of renewal, dreams and aspirations, bring us all hope and firm belief in the happy future of the Ukrainian land. May the newborn Son of God warm us with love and warmth and fill our homes with Christmas and New Year’s joy.
On these days, we sincerely praise God. Because in such a difficult time for our country, we need God’s care and protection of our defenders, as well as the establishment of hope and faith in peace. May the light of the Star of Bethlehem warm our hearts and bring us the gracious gifts of love, faith and hope. May the joy of Christmas envelop every corner of Ukraine with heartfelt prayer and melodious carols. Under God’s protection and blessing, may our invincible soldiers return home alive and well as soon as possible, and may our native Ukraine become a powerful, rich, prosperous state. May our thoughts, words and deeds be blessed.
On this day, the doors of every home are wide open in anticipation of goodness, happiness, and good health, and candles are burning on the festive table as a talisman – this has been the case since ancient times and will always be the case as long as the feelings of unity of a large family, love for one’s neighbor, and the desire to live in peace and harmony live in the heart.
We wish all of you that these holidays mark the beginning of a new successful International Year of Cooperatives; that it will be generous to us for good deeds and achievements, favorable for the realization of all good deeds in favor of cooperation, and that New Year’s miracles will encourage a positive, active mood for the whole year.
May the new year bring peace, victory, stability and prosperity, well-being and real changes for the better to every cooperative family. Warm and peaceful Christmas and New Year!
