Have yourself a merry little Christmas.

Or a mighty big one, if you wish.

Here at your hometown newspaper we're celebrating the season, most certainly, but we're also giving thanks for thousands of our blessings.

That would be you.

Without you, our readers, our advertisers, our friends, Christmas would be darker and colder for many less fortunate families in our midst. That's true of us, too; much of what we have today came from your support.

Thank you.

Bless you.

Enjoy all the bounties of the season, all the glory that Christmas represents. And know that to all of us here, one of our greatest gifts is you.
