On the eve of Christmas
hatred will vanish
On the eve of Christmas
the earth will flourish
On the eve of Christmas
Love will be born
When we offer a glass of water to a thirsty person
It is Christmas
When we wipe the tears from weeping eyes
It is Christmas
When the spirit of revenge dies in me
It is Christmas
When I am buried in the being of God
It is Christmas

No matter what holiday you celebrate at this time, or if you celebrate none, take some time to think about what you can do to bring peace to those around you — family, friends, and even strangers. Reach out and bring joy to others.
And have a very merry Christmas.
