Merry Christmas to all! Great to be able to spend some of it here with our Zenyatta family. I wanted to share one of my most favorite Christmas carols with all of you. The words seem as apt today as they did when written in 1863. Peace on earth is still our greatest wish.
1. I heard the bells on Christmas day
Their old familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet the words repeat
Of peace on earth, good will to men.
2. I thought how, as the day had come,
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along th’unbroken song
Of peace on earth, good will to men.
3. And in despair I bowed my head:
“There is no peace on earth,” I said,
“For hate is strong and mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good will to men.”
4. Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
“God is not dead, nor doth he sleep;
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail,
With peace on earth, good will to men.”
5. Till, ringing, singing, on its way,
The world revolved from night to day,
A voice, a chime, a chant sublime,
Of peace on earth, good will to men!
Text: Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, 1807–1882
Music: John Baptiste Calkin, 1827–1905

Thank you, Sandy. Merry Christmas to you.
Although we live in an evil, chaotic world, Christmas like Easter reminds us that we must look always to the Everlasting Light. Fear not!
