Letter to the editor 1, Dec. 22, 2020

The Christmas spirit Dear Editor, I’m writing this letter because in my heart I truly believe the Christmas spirit, though battered and bruised, is still alive and well today. I see it in the smiles of the small children waiting for Santa’s arrival. I see it in the well-distanced greetings of my neighbours, friends, and family wishing my wife and me happiness over the holiday season.
