What do you really want this Christmas?
When I was a child I loved the song that began “All I want for Christmas,” and the answer was “my two front teeth…so I could wish you merry Christmas.” This got me to thinking, what do I really want for Christmas this year, this year that has been so challenging for everybody, a year that has called for patience, for reconciliation, for hope, for new ways of imagining being together. I guess what I really want is what is on the front of the cards I am sending: Peace—inner peace, peace in families, in our country and in our world. May God’s peace surround all of us, despite the difficulties. LouAnne Willette, OP Austin, TX
