Ang wish ko ngayong Pasko ay...

World Peace! Hehehe...

But come to think of it... it's a wish that promotes selflessness, and I am way too serious to tell you that.

Sabi nga ng iba, as our generation becomes modernized, Christmas is becoming more commercialized. I may agree with that, but one specific Christmas Song gives me an alternative view regarding the true meaning of this religious celebration that almost everybody is waiting for, yearly.

And that song is entitled "My Grown Up Christmas List". It may sound "corny" or mushy to others, but for me, it's really a nice Christmas Hymn to listen to this holiday season. The song was sang by different artist singers including Metafour (Pinoy Band), David Foster, Cattski, Monica and Natalie Cole, Kelly Clarkson, etc. Here is the lyrics of the song:

Do you remember me
I sat upon your knee
I wrote to you
With childhood fantasies

Well, I’m all grown up now
And still need help somehow
I’m not a child
But my heart still can dream

So here’s my lifelong wish
My grown up Christmas list
Not for myself
But for a world in need

No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
and wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
And everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end
This is my grown up Christmas list

As children we believed
The grandest sight to see
Was something lovely
Wrapped beneath our tree

Well heaven only knows
That packages and bows
Can never heal
A hurting human soul

No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
And everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end
This is my grown up Christmas list

What is this illusion called the innocence of youth
Maybe only in our blind belief can we ever find the truth
(there’d be)

No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
And everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end, oh
This is my grown up Christmas list

This is my grown up Christmas list

So if anyone tells you that his/her wish for this Christmas is "World Peace", don't laugh. It's actually what we really need this time, because before we can achieve world peace, remember that peace of mind shall come first.
