Dear Editor, Christmas has different beginning times for most everyone. For some it’s when you put up the Christmas tree and decorations. For others it’s when you wrap some presents and put them under the tree. While for others it’s about the Christmas music. When they first start hearing Christmas songs on the radio then Christmas has begun for them. Christmas may begin for you when your family arrives home to share in your celebration. Or your Christmas celebration may really begin when your family finally leaves.

Dear Editor, I am referencing the protests that are occurring in Mohave County regarding The Great American Pizza place. Specifically “Peaceful Protest – We Will Not Comply”; occurring on December 4; Regarding the owner of GAP; he has several signs up that show his patriotism as a call to the public to join in with him to recall Board of Supervisors Chairman Jean Bishop.
