Letter to the Editor
Campus Times
December 11, 1998
Dear Editor,
I truly enjoyed reading your editorial in the Campus Times ("Shopping frenzy diminishes true spirit,"
Dec. 4). I have to say that I do agree with many things that you brought
up in your article.
However, one of your opening statements bothers me a lot: "Christmas
has always been one of my favorite holidays, but in recent years I have
begun to dislike this particular holiday." I hope you truly don't mean
it at all. Listen to your own words again at the end of your editorial.
"They have forgotten that Christmas is about kindness, loving ...
and I want to add, and much, much more."
Are you not making the same mistake as those who associate Christmas
with shopping? If you know the true meaning of Christmas, how can you dislike
it? I hope you will provide us with some sort of clarification of your statement/choice
of words in the next issue of Campus Times.
Have a wonderful Christmas!
Best wishes to all of you at Campus Times. You're doing a great job!
