Christmas edition a holiday pleaser

To the editors and all those who brought us the Christmas morning edition of the Herald:

Thank you for a truly wonderful experience. I have never enjoyed reading the newspaper as much as I did Christmas day. I especially liked Kristi O’Harran’s article about the Andersens, the story about Wasco, Ore., and their support for the Benedict’s lighting display, and the thank-you letters in the Forum. You all have made my day.

And in the spirit of Ms. Weyer’s Dec. 24 letter from Surrey, B.C., on the Canadian celebration of this holiday season:

A very Merry Christmas to you all, and God bless your healthy and fulfilling New Year.

John Frey
