To the Editor,

This year the celebration of Christmas may be subdued due to the many concerns our country is presently facing. The devastating tornadoes in the Midwest with its huge loss of life and property, the new strains of the virus pandemic which will cause unwelcome restrictions, the inflationary increase in most commodities and shortage of both products and services are only a few concerns we are currently facing.

 Still enjoy the traditional means of celebrating the holiday with visits to Santa, attend outdoor holiday events and plan visits and dining with family and friends.

 Remember all who serve and protect us, our military and first responders. Also all who provide the essential products and services.

This year try to assist those who have serious needs. The list is long but if we reach out within our means then we can truly enjoy this joyful holiday season.
