STEVE CLARK, Kennewick

I opened up the paper Christmas morning and was shocked and dismayed that we weren't greeted by a hearty "Merry Christmas" boldly displayed as the header on the front page!

Has the Tri-City Herald become so politically correct that it is afraid to call the holiday what it is? Instead we get an article about the "fiscal cliff."

Are you afraid you might offend someone with such a benevolent statement? Or is it the cost of all the red ink it would take? Surely, I hope not!
