Welcome to the party.

This is an old-fashioned Irish family Christmas céilí, and for those of you that have never been to a céilí before, it's a neighborhood dance party.

So welcome, everyone, folks from Hornell to Hancock, from Syracuse to Scranton.

It's great to have you all with us here today.

Thank you.
