‘Twas the month of many holidays, and here on our blog,
We're sharing some news that'll make you spit out your egg nog.

We know this time of year, we're knee-deep in competition.
And to top it all off let's throw in holiday tradition.

Instead of stressing, we hope you remember,
The many perks of being a USSA member.

Don't worry about the crowds in the malls and bazaars,
Get huge savings by shopping with USSA rewards.

For DVDs or educational resources the first place to stop,
Is none other than the USSA Sport Education Shop.

Inspire skiers for seasons yet to come.

And know that you're always at the top of our list.

So let this reminder be our gift to you,
Without you our season would definitely be blue.

We're sending this message with joy and jubilation,
Happy Holidays from Sport Education!
