“Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful. ” ― Norman Vincent Peale

What is Christmas?

Every time a hand reaches out
To help another. . .
That is Christmas.

Every time someone puts anger aside
And strives for understanding. . .
That is Christmas.

Every time people forget their differences
And realize their love for each other. . .
That is Christmas.

May this Christmas bring us
Closer to the spirit of human understanding
Closer to the blessing of peace!
