“For 14 years, we’ve been providing Christmas to Las Vegas children with “Giving Day.” We provide food, clothing and toys to under-privileged children. The Giving Day tradition has contributed to lives of thousands of families who would have gone without.”
Mary Musso • Corporate Broker and Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Distinctive Homes
“On Thanksgiving, when family and friends are all gathered together, we go
around the room and everyone has the opportunity to share their thoughts
on why or what or who makes them thankful. It is truly a special time.”
Tommi Bryan • Human Resources Representative, Tronox Henderson Plant
“Christmas by far. Christ has and continues to give gifts to us every day. It is the least we can do to celebrate his birth, life and resurrection for all of us. I hope America has not lost their values or life changes significantly. Seeing the three year old in his PJ jumpsuit with sausage eyes because of Santa, is icing on the cake…”
Jeffrey Lowden • MBA, Broker, President, SkyWest and Companies
“The best part of a Hanukkah night is relaxing with a cup of coffee as I watch my grandson playing dreidel under the light of the menorah and singing songs as the evening winds down. It’s those moments that remind me what the holidays are really about: passing our traditions and stories onto future generations.”
Philip Patent • President and Chief Operating Officer, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf Nevada
“My favorite holiday tradition is year- end planning for businesses. Yes it may seem odd, but the ability to connect strategic planning with the cash flow derived from making prudent tax decisions always end the year with a bang!”
Michael D. Bosma • CPA, The Bosma Group

“My favorite holiday tradition is baking cookies with my kids for Santa on Christmas Eve and then leaving “traces” of him for them to find on Christmas morning. Since they’re 8 and 5, I think I only have a couple more years of this tradition, but I’ll enjoy it while it lasts!”
Stephanie Kirby • Executive Director, Susan G. Komen for the Cure of Southern Nevada
