Merry Christmas and Why I Love America
Yesterday before I went to work, I did some errands up and down the block where I live in the city. First I greeted the street vendor and bought a coke from her. Merry Christmas, she said. She is a Muslim. Then I went to the market across the street to get some milk. Merry Christmas, said my friend the check-out clerk. He is a Buddhist. I was lucky to find the cleaner's delivery truck pulling up as I opened the door to the shop. Merry Christmas said the driver from under his Sikh turban. To each and everyone I replied with a hearty Merry Christmas! And this from a nice, Jewish girl.
So Merry Christmas everyone, by which I mean good wishes for peace on Earth and goodwill toward everyone, and hope for a healthy and happy new year - a year in which we all find joy in helping others, our Earth, and the quest for peace.

Nom heartily subscribes to all the sentiments expressed in this wonderful column by Abbey. 'Tis the season to re-discover love to all one's fellow sentient beings, wishes for their good health and happiness, and above all for sustainability and peace on this tiny minuscule hunk of real estate that we call Earth.
