So let's hear it for the assistance league and all the work that they do.

Alright, photo op.

There we go.

Looking good.

Let's hear it one more time for the assistance league.

And every year when we do this, we ask the assistance league um to pick a hero, a holiday hero that we can honor this year for all the good they do in the community.

And this year they've chosen Christine Olson.

So let's hear it for Christine.

I'm gonna tell you just real quick all the good that Christine does.

Christine Olsen is a program specialist with Contra Costa County's Independent Living Skills program.

This is such an honor.

My name is Kristen Olson and I work with Contra Costa County Independent Living Skills Program.

There are so many of us that work really hard to support foster youth.

They really need a lot of support, and you all are their community.

This is a special season to be thinking about foster youth.

You can support them by donating to the ALTV or to the independent living skills program or just by holding them in your hearts and minds at this time of year and all year long.

As the lights come on the tree, I'd like us all to not just see the lights, but be the lights.

Okay, Santa.

I think it's time to get all these children in the holiday sphere.

What do you think?

Yes, we need to do that.

How do you think we can do that?

Well, I can't.

That's a great idea.

It's a great idea, I think, but I don't see any way to turn it on around here.

Oh, hey, we don't need a switch.

I'm Santa.

Okay, alright, that's great.

Hey, do you think you guys can help us with the perform some holiday magic with Santa?

So Christmas.

Save it, they're ringing Christmas.

It's the evening time.

Okay, we are here.

Why do we all get so caught up at Christmas?

It should be a simple time of year.

No one should feel sad at Christmas, wish that there were only happy cheers.

Why is it all about the gifts and presents?

Why don't we all just get back to the basics?

All this world needs is love and tenderness.

But this world is everybody's home.

But this world is everybody's home.

But this world is everybody's home.
