Transcript of the above video: 

May I say from all of us here at Integrity Legal, Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah, Happy Holidays, Happy Kwanzaa, all of that good stuff, but Merry Christmas from us here. 

To be clear, we close our offices from Christmas Eve Day until after the New Year. This is the one time of the year where we do close down because quite honestly, we all need a break at some point, and frankly I'm on pretty much all the time all year long. To be clear, I'm pre-recording a number of videos so that I can take some time fully off and deal with some other things. I'm not complaining, we love our clients, we love what we do around here, but the work does take its toll, and at a certain point in the year you really do need to take some time off just to decompress. Also the beginning of the year, the first quarter of the year here in Thailand is always quite intense, so we also sort of take this time off at this time in preparation for that. 

That said, we also have, as I have discussed in other videos, Pancake Palace will be open except for the 30^th, 31st and the 1st over these holidays and we will be kind of having celebratory times down there. If you're interested, link is in the description below to come by Pancake Palace. 

But yeah, I just wanted to say Merry Christmas to everybody. I really hope that a message of joy and community goes out this year because it's been a pretty intense year for me, it's been a pretty intense year at the firm. I'm very happy to have the people around me that I have, and I'm happy that this firm has gotten to where it has and the people in this firm and the work that they've done, I'm just proud of it all and it's at this time of year you kind of reflect back on those types of things. We also appreciate the clients out there, all of you, thank you so much. The paid news service folks, thank you, thank you, and also just the general audience. I never in a million years thought that there would be an audience for what I do on here, but here it is. 

So Merry Christmas to all of you and we hope to see you; maybe we'll see you down at the Pancake Palace over the holidays. But yeah, we will not be around. Also I'm going to go ahead and make a thumbnail for this. Yeah, I'm doing a bunch of pre-recorded videos so be aware of that and we may pop up with some topical things if something really sort of interest happens, but I need to take some time off; I mean all of this stuff it takes its toll. But that said, I'm putting up from the old school Beavis and Butthead, the Yule log, where Beavis and Butthead, there was one Christmas year where it was like I guess Mike Judge just kind of did what he did, did the voiceovers but they just found a Yule log to put up for them to watch, so I went ahead and decided to use that as the thumbnail for this Christmas video here just in recognition of the fact that some of the upcoming videos for the next week or so are basically going to be sort of pre-recorded. 

So folks, thank you very much. Thanks for this great year. We look forward to seeing you again in 2026, but Merry Christmas from us all here at Integrity Legal.
