Doctors and medical experts have stated that there is NO data that shows an increase in COVID-19 cases and in school learning, those are FACTS! We can all fall victim to fear mongering but these kids need to be in school. They are the ones that are going to be the next generation doctors and nurses.

New cases are still being reported every day and the coronavirus remains deadly. Many people argue schools shouldn't be open until students and teachers are vaccinated.

Again they do not have the equipment they need to do so and keep everyone safe. Staff, Students, School Workers

Teachers should be vaccinated before this happens.

Sarah Norton

We need more vaccine rollout in the community. Getting close but it's still too early. Maybe April or just wait until next fall.

Trump has destroyed every thing. Living in a median begging for money for my booze...but still have my phone and EBT card.

Max

Amen, to that Eric. I know exactly how you feel, and what you are saying. A liberal's interpretation of Proverbs 22:9. Your satire is exquisite.

We're headed for a DEEP recession ... be smart and tighten your belts!

Why would it change? I have more money now.

Never had a big budget for holidays or birthdays. We have too much stuff already so we concentrate on time together and a few useful thoughtful gifts, often hand-made.

Max

Obviously, an article regarding Christmas, will not get many views in a blue city like Columbia.

Steve Baumann

It is what it is

Max

On Christmas, my kids often just ask me for meaningful advice. They are in their fifties, and they have learned enough to know, that they can always learn more. We still give each other the benefits of our skills that we have acquired over the years. These gifts are priceless, and they last forever.

Max

Christmas commemorates the birth of Jesus Christ, believed to be the Son of God. The celebration focuses on the Incarnation, or God becoming human. You don't need money to celebrate that.
