Peace On Earth

 One week since the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary.

This piece on our Christmas tree means something different now.

 This means something different now too.

May your Christmas be full of hope and a resolve to do something to make the world a better place.

And when you hold your little ones close on Christmas morning, please say a prayer for all the families in Newtown, CT who have one less to hold in their arms, but will hold forever in their hearts.

Peace on earth.
