In this Holiday Season, we give thanks for you. We value your readership and appreciate your confidence in us.

Counting you among our readers is something for which we are especially grateful.

On behalf of all of us here at The Somerville News Weekly, we wish you all a very Happy Holiday Season.

Sincerely,
