Greeting:
The Governor's Mansion is especially warm and inviting during the holiday season.  Richly adorned trees decked with strands of bright lights, ornaments, and ribbons seem to dance their way through the carols that fill the halls with the meaning of Christmas and resound with the significans of our Savior's birth.

We hope this brisket recipe will help you fill your home with a wonderful aroma that gathers your guests close together in spirit and love-and becomes a mealtime tradition for generations to come.  Our hearts will be with each and every one of you during this time of celebration.

and is become my salvation."
