FOR ALL THOSE OF YOU WHO DON’T CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS
IN YOUR HOME OR YOUR STATE , ON YOUR ISLAND OR ITHSMUS
I STRIVE NOT TO SOW DISCONTENT OR DISMAY
MAY PEACE AND GOOD WILL FIND YOU FOLK ANYWAY
I ASK THAT YOU NOT DISRESPECT THE KEY REASON
THAT CHRISTIANS LIKE ME CELEBRATE THIS GLAD SEASON
I DON’T SEEK TO MARGINALIZE THOSE OF YOU
WHO DO NOT BELIEVE IN THE WAY THAT I DO
I rejoice in my joyful expression of faith during this transcendent season. I appeal to those of you who may not share that faith to be tolerant of those of us who hold this season in such high regard for its deeply spiritual significance. Joy, peace and happiness to one and all.
