Merry Christmas, Vrolijk Kerstfeest

Today is Christmas Day. It needs no explaining in western cultures, in which the Christian belief plays an influential role.

I wish you and yours a Blessed Christmas, Happy Holidays and a time of socialness or togetherness, but also reflection.

May you enjoy this time of celebration in your own way. And perhaps in a time of quiet and reflection, ponder on just what part our own cultures and countries play in world peace and well being. Or the lack of it.
