Weekly Topic Inspiration: The Meaning of Christmas, Hanukkah & Kwanzaa?

" And, Hanukkah has always been called, "The Festival of Lights. " While Kwanzaa also Lights Up The Room and many Light up their Christmas tree. The common thread to bring "Light Unto This World" means we should start respecting each other, treat others with compassion and kindness, and do not do unto others that which you would not like done unto you.

Simply start thinking of our actions in an ethical and moral way to bring in the LIGHT! Blessings, Debby.

On Christmas Eve 1915, German soldiers in the western front trenches sang Christmas carols as so brought about a short truce to the hostilities of the first world war. On Christmas Eve 1995 in the Algerian village of Tribhirine, a group of Muslim terrorists, intent on violence to the monks of the monastery of Our Lady of the Atlas Mountains, left in peace, acknowledging the religious significance of the Christian feast day. For me Christmas means the possibility of forgiveness and reconciliation and new beginnings in hope.It means peace in our hearts, in our homes, communities and between nation enemies.

Peace, not brought about through the might of national armies and fire power, but through the wonder, joy and vulnerability of a babe.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
