Letter: Let love conquer hate at Christmas

Regarding Monday's two letters, by Raynette Eitel and Juliette Kaplan, commenting on Sandy Thompson's Dec. 9 column:

Eitel's letter, articulating deep concern for religious freedom for all, speaks for itself. In stark contrast, Kaplan purports to promote a deep intolerance for the celebration of Christmas and all things relating to Christmas. How very sad, that in a world turned up-side-down because of religious fanaticism and violence, it is Christmas that offends her sensibilities.

As for suggesting Thompson "should broaden her horizons," perhaps it is Kaplan who should spread out a bit.

What a puny little world she inhabits. Love always conquers hate -- go buy someone a Christmas gift!
