Peace on Earth – a Social Media Request

December 11, 2009

For as long as my children have been old enough to ask me what I want for Christmas, the answer has always been the same:

Peace on Earth, Goodwill toward men.

When they were very young this confounded them, in their teens they laughed and in their twenties they realized it was truly all I really wanted.  Yesterday one of my children asked me again and I thought:

Maybe I should ask for Peace on Earth for one day, just so we could see what its like.  We could get the headline that says “No one died in anger today”.   No bomb was dropped from a drone, no bullet fired to protect anyones way of life, no one died a needless death in the name of religion, no one died to defend an imaginary line in the desert.  We all stayed home with our families and felt…secure.

Just one day.

Since my children can’t do this they would like me to ask if you could just forward this request to all of your followers, friends, buddies and anyone else you can get it to.  Maybe we can agree that December 25th is that one day. 

Peace on Earth, a trial run, for just one day.  Can Social Media do it?  Please ask, my kids would appreciate it.
