*By Ken McCrae Santa Monica*

Christmas must be setting in! I looked in vain for your Wednesday “Letters” column — nothing! No demonizing the homeless, no “living wage” debate, no comments on the Ocean Park Community Organization mess, etc., etc., etc.!

Don’t tell me that “Peace on Earth, and Good Will to Men” has set in! Too bad it can’t stay this way all year!

And by the way, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and all the SMDP readers!

P.S. Boy! Did I save sending out a lot of Christmas cards this way!
