How about some encouraging, cheerful news on the front page of the Christmas Sunday edition of the Honolulu Star-Advertiser? A heartwarming story? A recounting of some memorable historical event from a Christmas Day in the past?

Instead, we got grim stories of lives lost during COVID-19 and malfunctioning cameras at Red Hill. And we had to trudge through pages of news stories and ads before finally arriving at Section D with its charming Keiki Kalikimaka illustrations, and Section E with its touching letters of appreciation.

I would like to see more positivity from the newspaper, particularly on the front page on Christmas morning of what should be the most joyful day of the year.
