In my heart I have this dream, a dream I share
 with so many others, my dream is Peace on Earth,
 and oh how I wish my dream to come true.

~ Christmas Peace~

May you find this Christmas inner peace
Equal to the patient love you give,
Releasing all the pain you can release,
Renewing all the grace with which you live.
Yearnings may you turn to rhapsodies,
Choosing to find happiness in beauty,
Holding in their haunting melodies

Riches that sustain your sense of duty.
In anger may you find an evening star
Showing you the way to Bethlehem.
The angels that watch naked from afar
May you hear sing of who would none condemn.
As all you love are blessed in having you
So may you feel the joy in all you do.
Thomas Tallis

~Christmas Eve~

On a Winter night
When the moon is low
The rabbits hop on the frozen snow,

The woodpecker sleeps in his hole in the tree
And fast asleep is the chickadee
Twelve  o'clock 
and the World is still

As the Christmas star comes over the hill
The angels sing, and sing again:
"Peace on Earth, goodwill to men."
