_____Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! The people here at the Massachusetts Voice would like to thank you for reading our publication even through the hard times we all suffered during this war. To commemorate this most important war we have dedicated our special Christmas issue to the struggles that birthed our nation. We will take a comprehensive look at the whole war and the things that led to the initial conflict. From the intolerable deeds that the English practiced and the first shots fired at Lexington and Concord to the Declaration of Independence and the signing of the peace treaty in Paris, every important character and battle is mentioned.

_____We felt it was necessary to produce this issue because no one should forget the things that happened. That is why we are dedicating this issue to the memory of those who died for our independence. Also don’t forget to check out the special holiday recipes inside.
