From all of us here at Richfield Patch, we want to wish you Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas.

In that spirit, I felt personally compelled to take a moment and remember the victims of the Dec. 14 Newtown, CT, tragedy who will not be with their families today.

We can remember by simply taking two minutes and watching this beautiful rendition of "Silent Night" by the New York City Children's Chorus.

The choir sang the song to open the Dec. 15 episode of "Saturday Night Live" to honor the victims of the shooting. It's simply beautiful.

I still find it unimaginable that there are 26 new angels—including 20 tiny ones—looking down on all of us today as we celebrate the holiday with our loved ones.

Merry Christmas to you and yours,

- Caitlin Burgess and the rest of the Richfield Patch staff.
