I asked the children to write their Christmas list - the stuff they really wanted this Christmas.
I then asked them to pretend that they were one of the migrants displaced by war in the middle East - or they were a child in Paris (November 2015) and their Mum or big brother, or any close family member was involved in the terrorist attack.
I then asked them to write another Christmas list. Suddenly the iPads and other consumer products were missing from the list.
Here's what we came up with:
Christmas is a window on a world of love and peace
An annual reminder we want war and hate to cease
We’d like to have a future of happiness and love
We’d like to show the world the meaning of
Christmas
Christmas
Christmas
Christmas
Open up the window and we’re sure that you will see
The world is full of children who are just like you and me
We only want a future and we can show the way
We want the Christmas feeling everyday
Christmas - A time of love and peace
Christmas - A time for war to cease
Christmas - Why can’t we live this way
Christmas - Live Christmas everyday
Just look through the window and we’re sure you will agree
The greatest gift at Christmas is a loving family
So families come together, unite in every land
And we will make the people understand
Christmas - A time of love and peace
Christmas - A time for war to cease
Christmas - Why can’t we live this way
Christmas - Live Christmas everyday
