MY HOMETOWN
by Yoko Ono
Do you know where your hometown is?
Your hometown is a place you choose.
Get a map of the world.
Pin a little flag on a place on the map you'd like to go to.
The place you've put your flag is your hometown.
Let's find a way to make this flag something you'll be proud of.
Start by giving your hometown a name you want to call it by.
Find out some things about your hometown
Make a scrapbook of images and people from your hometown, and add your comments about them
Look after your hometown in your mind.
Send it lots of love.
In your mind help anyone there who needs help.
If there are any broken-down houses, mend them in your mind
If there are any people who are ill, make them better in your mind
If any of the streets need cleaning, clean it in your mind
If there are any children who are crying, wipe their tears away in your mind
Find out about the past and present of your hometown.
If anything terrible has ever happened there, think about it, and try to take away the pain that's still there.
If there's something terrible going on there now, focus your thoughts on it, and try to take away all the pain.
Quietly tell your best friends about the problems of your hometown, and ask them to solve them in their minds.
Put up some nice photos of your hometown in your room.
Write a diary about your hometown.
Keep sending your powerful energy to your hometown until more people start to smile and laugh and enjoy themselves.
Keep going until your efforts start to make things better in your hometown.
One day we'll realize that all the towns in the world are someone's hometown.


REMEMBER LOVE
by Yoko Ono
Remember love, remember love, love is what it takes to sing.
Remember love, remember love, love is what it takes to meet.
Remember love, remember love, love is what it takes to live.
Remember love, remember love, love is what it takes to dream.
Remember love, remember love, love is what it takes to see.
Remember love, remember love, love is what it takes to meet.
Remember love, remember love, love is what it takes to live.
Remember love, remember love, love is what it takes to tie.
Remember love, remember love, love is what it takes to live.
Remember love, remember love, love is what it takes to tie.
Remember love, remember love, love
Remember love.
Love
Love.

Happy Winter Solstice


This is longest night of the year. Not much snow. The quiet night is a far better sound than the rush and push of shoppers.

The Christmas lights only add to the festive feeling of this night. The best night of the year because it is the longest—following the shortest day of the year. For the creatures of the night this is our night. -សតិវ អតុ

Lady Gaga - White Christmas

Christmas, Winter Solstice, Hanukkah, lets celebrate the holidays as we please

From Wichita Peace and Freedom Party Examiner;

People fight over everything these days, especially around Christmas. These days "happy holidays" are fighting words for Christians who fear that people are trying to secularize their national holiday. Christmas is a national holiday by law.
Letters start to arrive at the local newspaper The Wichita Eagle, slamming those in businesses who won’t say "Merry Christmas" instead of "Happy Holidays."
They fight over Xmas vs. Christmas. They think the X is an attempt to secularize their holiday. This is wrong. According to Wikipedia, the "X" actually comes from the Greek letter Chi, which is the first letter of the Greek word for "Christ."
One of the biggest problems for modern conservative Christians is that they live in a country where an increasing number of non-Christians practice their religion. Everyone knows that Hanukkah is a jewish holiday that happens to come around the same time as Christmas. There are pagans, wiccans and some agnostics who celebrate the Winter Solstice and they customs are mostly the same as Christmas. The Winter Solstice comes a few days before Christmas. Some Bhudists feel they have the right to celebrate any religious holiday with their family. There is a growing Muslim community and they are often met with hostility from conservative Christians. A good example was the presure put on Lowe’s to pull its ads from the TV show All-American Muslim.
 
The bottom line is that this is a country of different religions, some celebrate our national holidays and some don’t. For those who celebrate Christmas, or a similar holiday in the same season, this is a good time to respect those of different beliefs and celebrate what makes us alike rather than obsessing with forcing beliefs on others.
