Eyewitness News tradition continues: Your holiday greetings

NEW YORK (WABC) -- A special tradition at Eyewitness News continued for the 23rd year as we shared your holiday messages on Christmas morning.

We heard your hopes for the new year, what you are thankful for, what you will miss and even what you won't miss.
