I pulled a box of Christmas decorations out of the basement last week and found a bunch of old holiday cards at the bottom from years past. They were photo cards on heavy paper, with rounded corners and shiny foil lettering exclaiming “Merry & Bright” or “Peace & Joy.”

Got something on your mind? Tell us about it in 40 words or less.

Families in Michigan will set an empty place at the table this holiday season in the wake of the mass shooting at Oxford High School that left four children dead and seven more injured.

Very often I hear from people on both sides of the vaccination debate (to vax or not?). Couple with that the pro-vax folks who regularly proclaim everyone should get the shot(s).

I’ve reported how Facebook censors me. Now I’ve learned that they also censor environmentalist Michael Shellenberger, statistician Bjorn Lomborg and former New York Times columnist John Tierney.

I work in downtown Prescott. A recent morning one of our customers was verbally threatened by another man. We called the police and Officer Crawford soon arrived.

I strongly disagree with letter writer Steve Roczniak’s main points in his letter published Nov. 24. First, he compares vaccine mandates to drunk driving laws because, he says, drunk driving laws limit your ability to drink when you want.

A May 2021 report by the Morrison Institute’s Kyl Center for Water Policy at Arizona State University calls into question the ability of the state’s water laws to assure sustainable water supplies for residents living in areas where groundwater levels are declining.

Ahmaud Arbery is not here, but he heard the verdicts. He knows, in that place where his restless soul resides, that his death has been avenged.

I believe it is fantastic that the Prescott area has many wonderful trails and opportunities to get outside and see what nature has to offer. There are many trails to enjoy and recently has been reported areas to go and see the leaves and the changing of the season. I believe one group has been left out.

RE: teaching “the brutality of communism in schools” (Courier, Nov. 25), it would be much more useful to teach something like the history of modern Russia, in which Stalin’s starvation of millions of Ukranians, the infamous Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, the repression of freedom movements in Hungary and Czechoslovakia, etc.

In his letter to the editor of The Daily Courier, Doug Ruhland alleged that the Prescott Unified School District board has refused to allow him to read a statement at its public meetings.

Over the past few weeks, media outlets have reported that holiday consumers should expect a shortage of Christmas trees this year due to the supply-chain crisis, climate change and the trees themselves refusing to re-enter the workforce after becoming addicted to Netflix and Flamin’ Hot Cheetos during the COVID-19 pandemic.

I too was disappointed and puzzled by the “Raise the Bar” letter to the editor in June. My husband and I absolutely love the restaurants here in the Prescott area.
