Respect for season has several forms

After reading Pete Mills' letter “Donations beat gaudy Christmas displays,” I felt his “Just sign me: The Grinch” was very appropriate.

How does Mills know that these same people don't donate as well as display?

I have a display that resembles a Christmas card. It includes a star above two 2 candles, two wreaths and a Merry Christmas sign.

All are lighted.

Sometimes I use my homemade 6-by-5-foot open Bible in place of the candles; it includes praying hands and says “Peace On Earth.”

This is my way of saying “Merry Christmas” to my neighbors and to anyone driving by. It's called “Christmas spirit.” I also donate.

So, Mr. Grinch shouldn't knock the Christmas spirit just because it isn't the same as his, and Merry Christmas to him.
