Madam, - May I join other readers in voicing appreciation of the significance of Christmas conveyed in your Christmas Eve issue?
At a time when even China is using "Father Christmas" for commercial ends, it is necessary, and fitting, to be reminded of the Christian origins and continuing significance of the Christmas celebration. - Yours, etc.,
