Peace – not just on Christmas!
During the Christmas season in the Philippines (which officially begins on the 16th of December) we usually sing the old song ‘Let there be peace on earth’. It doesn’t mention ‘christmas’ in the lyrics nor, I don’t think, it was intended to be a Christmas song (I might be wrong, Wikipedia it). The melody sounds very christmasy though, like ‘Silent Night’ – holy, peaceful, calm… just like Christmas.
