Thank-you to my sister in Christ who passed along Have Yourself a Peace and Justice Christmas (to the tune of Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas), see below.  Of much more value than the song (and its tune) is the Sojourners Have Yourself a Peace and Justice Christmas! pledge/drive. Please take a moment to review the pledge, consider taking the pledge, and embrace several of the recommendations to reflect/practice Christ this Christmas.  As we have a friend in Zimbabwe assisting family, this suggestion spoke loud and clear: 

Fast through the Silent Night. Choose to fast on Christmas Eve on behalf of the suffering people of Zimbabwe and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Have Yourself a Peace and Justice Christmas

Have yourself a peace and justice Christmas,
Set your heart a-right.
Flee the malls and focus on Christ's guiding light.

Have yourself a peace and justice Christmas,
Give your time a way.
Share God's love, And serve "the least of these" today.

Here we are, as we pray for peace,
We'll live simply and give more.
We care for those far and near to us,
Which brings cheer to us, once more.

God brings down
The haughty from high places,
And lifts up the low.
God cares for the hungry and the humble, so –
Forget the stress and let the peace and justice flow!
