Dear Editor,
I would like you to please allow a space for me in your newspaper so that I could share this Christmas message with everyone.
Christmas is not a holiday package wrapped with gay ribbon and holly. It is a time for meditating, for recalling that night long ago when Bethlehem cradled to its heart and gave mankind the redeemer of the world.
Christmas should mean kind thinking, forgiveness, forgetting old cares, old grievance, and fears. It should be a time for carving ideals and dreams; an hour for weaving the golden threads of pass blessings into a mantle of daily thanksgiving.
Christmas is a gift transcending human understanding; an angel choir echoing the song of songs; imperishable glory from the very heart of heaven to the farthermost part of earth.
Christmas is a boundless love melting all grief, all heartache; hope, serene and beautiful, lighting all darkness.
CHRISTMAS IS PEACE.
Jose Braddick and family
