My Letter To The Editor

On Sunday December 11, 2016: the San Diego Union-Tribune published a letter to the Editor I wrote to them.  However, they did edit it. It was under the heading: "Debate over Christmas celebration goes on." The following is the letter I sent them in it's complete form.  Here is the unedited letter:

 

"Regarding Mr. Singer's letter posted on 12/5, I just want to say that it is the Christmas season.  The Christmas season does not have anything to do with discrimination against African Americans, foreign nationals Native Americans or Jews. Christmas is all about peace, joy and love for all.  Yes, there is a Christmas spirit.  It is not a "Winter" or "December" spirit.  Yes, it is a "Holiday" spirit.  But, mainly because it is the celebration of the arrival of the King of kings and the Lord of lords, the Messiah.  It affects many people, in a positive manner, including non-Christians.  Does not every holiday have a reason for being a holiday?  Well....."Jesus is the reason for the Season."  This event is  powerful.  It should be, it is the fulfillment of God's Prophet, Isaiah in Chapter 9 verse 6.  Check it out. God is a spirit.  He chose to manifest Himself in the flesh.  Why?  Because God is love, and that is what He does.  Merry Christmas!"
