It's Christmas-time. There's no need to be afraid.
At Christmas-time, we let in light, and we banish shade.
And in our world of plenty, we can spread a smile of joy.
Throw your arms around the world at Christmas-time.
I remember first hearing this in my homeroom class freshman year in 1984 ... and it still gives me chills every time. It was a time when I began to be filled with an infinite sense of hope - hope that we could, a small group of people could, change the world. From BandAid to the 9/11 benefit concerts to the relief efforts for the tsunami and Hurricane Katrina, I still believe.
This Christmas, believe.
Throw your arms around the world this Christmas-time
