I viewed the references in your article to religions and not to ethnic groups. As an African-American Christian rest assured I did not feel left out in your reference. Although I do celebrate Kwanzaa, it is not a religion. Christianity is! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Milton Eric Fletcher Dan,

Dan M., with the “Gov” as his wife -
Who sees and hears plenty of strife,
Knows the time is right,
To write about light,
And brings holiday cheer to my life!

The holidays are an island of light in the long winter’s night. Thanks for reminding us to celebrate the light instead of cursing the darkness…

You are so right that we often let ourselves get beaten down by the news and to some degree by the season's busyness. Thanks for the dose of perspective. Merry Christmas! Dan,

It served as an inspiration to many people this year, and provided readers with an outlet for sharing and even debating their opinions. As we all work together in 2009, I'll remember what Mother Teresa once said, "None of us, including me, ever do great things. But we can all do small things, with great love, and together we can do something wonderful." Happy Holidays, Tony Ettwein, Kalamazoo Hi Dan,

I have forwarded this one on to a "small army" of contacts ---- many of whom, I am sure, will benefit from (and enjoy) your thoughts.

Your references covered the christians and jews,and our largest minority, Hispanic christians, but the next largest minority, African-Americans was left out. More seriously, in keeping with your theme, I think the Kwanza celebration has some candle lighting observance also. If so,it would have made your point even "lighter". Enjoy your writings and often recommend them, to others. Tell the "GOV" to persevere---she was left a mess (including the house and senate) from that idiot gov. Dave Zaffina Dear Dan:
