We wish everyone a very merry Christmas, a happy Hanukkah, a wonderful Kwanzaa and a warm Yule. And a happy New Year, too.

Happy holidays to everyone who reads the Albert Lea Tribune, AlbertLeaTribune.com and Southern Minnesota magazine.

We wish you health, wealth and wisdom for 2009, and we hope reading our publications helps you gain all three to a satisfying degree. Thank you, as always, for caring about your community and your community newspaper.
