May we begin to see the world in the light of the understanding you give us. As you chose the lowly, the
outcasts, and the poor to receive the greatest news the world had ever known, so may we worship you in
meekness of heart. May we also remember our brothers and sisters less fortunate than ourselves in this season
of giving. Amen.

Prayer for the Food
Lord God and giver of all good gifts,
we are grateful as we pause before this meal,
for all the blessings of life that you give to us.
Daily, we are fed with good things,
nourished by friendship and care,
feasted with forgiveness and understanding.
And so, mindful of your continuous care,
we pause to be grateful
for the blessings of this table.
May your presence
be the extra taste to this meal
which we eat in the name of your son, Jesus.
Closing Remarks
Christmas has a very special meaning for all of us regardless of our religious beliefs, because it is a holiday
built around the concept of the family. What began with Joseph and Mary and the infant Jesus in the manger in
Bethlehem--the sentiments of togetherness and love--has spread over the centuries to millions and millions of
homes. And as a result, regardless of where it is around the world, I think it has become an almost universal
blessing. This gathering for example is a strong proof. Once a year, we come together to celebrate as one family
despite the distance and differences.
I hope that you all enjoyed our party tonight and while it appears that we will have to continue to face some
more challenges in the next year, it is reassuring to see that we are facing them as a unified, hopeful force.
Having said this, may the love, joy, and happiness of the season be with you this Christmas, and in the coming
year. Thank you! Enjoy the rest of the night.
