Happy Holidays To The World! Band Aid Perform ‘Do They Know It’s Christmas?’
Whoever you are, whatever your beliefs, whatever is your situation, I wish every single one of you happiness and good health this Holiday Season, and beyond!
Please don’t forget to notice those who’ve fallen on hard times — the less fortunate amongst us — and don’t allow them to become the invisible. Please help them in anyway you can.
And don’t let any party or politician destroy your sense of hope for a better world. Change has never come easily.
Here’s to a better year!
The original Band Aid perform their fabulous hit from the early 80s: ‘Do They Know It’s Christmas Time?’ Enjoy!
