Respond to editor
The first was a simple request. "What would you like for Christmas?" The second was, "How will you celebrate the start of the new year?"
In order to help readers along, I offered a few choices of Christmas gifts. Here's your responses:

For the second question, I also offered choices for activities to mark the new year. Again, your responses:

It's apparent to me that once we've received peace for Christmas, we'd like to sleep on it for awhile to begin the new year.
Enjoy your new year.
