Being a simple woman shopping for this weekend's celebration of the festival of lights, Hanukkah, I felt offended when Vons, which claims to be a neighborhood store, does not offer anything for its Jewish community to purchase in celebration of the holiday, while Christmas, which we all know falls on Dec. 25, has a lovely display.  
Ralphs, also a chain of stores, is indeed a neighborhood store and has respect for all their neighbors by offering a beautiful arrangement for Hanukkah and Christmas. Shame on you Vons.  
I will never shop at Vons again.  
Happy Hanukkah and merry Christmas to all my neighbors.
