At this time of year, it is easy to forget the reality of the critical world situation as we partake in the frantic overconsumption and festivities of Christmas. But what is the true meaning of Christmas in the midst of environmental destruction, growing levels of poverty and escalating global tensions? Mohammed Mesbahi’s essay on this question asks if we can celebrate Christmas in a humble and truly loving way with respect to the Earth and those less fortunate than ourselves. As he writes, there is no better way to celebrate the birth of Christ than to unite under the banner of freedom and justice, and peacefully demonstrate for an end to hunger and poverty across the world. We hope you will take the time to read this essay, and pass it on to your family and friends.
