for many, the holiday season taken as much as it gives. anxiety over money or buying gifts. challenging relationships with friends or family, or perhaps painful childhood family memories. but for many tidings, comfort as well as joy. happy holidays, merry christmas and happy hanukkah. follow me on facebook at danashley on abc7. ama: thank you for joining us. kane i'm dan ashley. for all of us here we appreciate your time. have a great rest of the evening. we will see you at abc7 news at 11:00. ama: we'll leave you with these images. stay safe.
