RETRO-SPECTIVE: CHRISTMAS 2009

2009- As Christmas As I Wanna Be ...

December 21, 1945 Christmas Spells Happiness

As we look about us at this season of the year, we find our friends enjoying the Christmastime with all the happy enthusiasm with which this occasion should be experienced! This is as it should be! Christmas is a time to be happy and to give thoughts to those we love. It is good to know that Americans are enjoying Christmas - even though many of our loved ones are in distant parts of the world and cannot be with us. They would not have us forget Christmas; nor would they have us do other than enjoy the Yuletide to its fullest. This we should do as our obligation to them. Neither will we forget those whose efforts have made it possible for us to enjoy Christmas. It is part of the American way of life for which our youth has fought on distant lands and we will not forget. And so, as we extend our Christmas message to you, we want you to know that our greetings are meant for those far away. We are thinking of them too, and hoping for the day when our Christmas season may be one of full happiness with all of our loved ones and friends together again. FRIDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1945
