    To not give up.
    To go the distance.
    To stop at nothing.

    Christmas cards. Never really liked or understood them but being brought up in a time where the mail was the only real viable way to keep in contact with family or friends who lived far away it had become more of a habit than anything else. In the age of social media they just seem superfluous.
