The annual Christmas shindig gets underway in about an hour. A long row of tables have been set up in the middle of the newsroom which will soon be laden with lots of food. Should be fun! Employees dig in, hang out and generally just enjoy a bit of downtime with each other before getting back to this business we call news. I think someone should break out the Trans-Siberian Orchestra over the intercom during the whole thing.

Speaking of TSO, there is a house in Central City that has set up it’s Christmas lights display to play in time with a few TSO tunes. Our own Adam Maser was out getting some video of it to show off. Check it out.

As the holidays take up our reader’s time, the letters to the editor begin to thin out. If you have something you want to speak out about, take a minute and use our handy-dandy online form to submit a letter.

Coming up this Sunday, we will have a special Santa editorial in the paper that should be well worth checking out And as a reminder to all, the Independent offices will be closing early (at 2pm) on Christmas eve and New Year’s eve.
