Dear Sir,
Once again the powers that be in our town have chosen to start the Christmas Celebration before we can acknowledge the memory of those that died in two world wars and recent conflicts.
Where is the respect for these people who sacrificed their lives? Without their courage we would be unable to enjoy the Christmas festivities the way we do.
It happens every year in October and I wonder whether we do it to beat other towns. I am sure the decorations could still be in good time if erected after November 11th.
I enjoy Christmas like everybody and I am no killjoy, but I do respect the pain and suffering that millions of families have gone through so that we can enjoy Christmas.
Dismayed
