Letter: How to enjoy the midwinter festival
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.From Mr Glyn Edwards
Sir: I do not know where Mary Kenny gets her drab view of atheists from ("Meanings of Christmas", 28 December).
Our household has just had a splendid time as numerous adults and children ate, drank, exchanged presents, laughed, played games, reminisced and enjoyed themselves from 24 December to New Year's Eve. We have had a typical midwinter fun festival with much companionship and no supernatural connotations. Christmas is, in fact, a wonderful time to be an atheist because you are immune from the feelings of guilt which the so- called spiritual leaders among us like to insinuate among the revelries.
Yours cordially,
