Christmas in the Form of a Dream

m
William Rivers Pitt, Truthout: I pause and wonder what it is I am promoting=
 when I inculcate my daughter with the odd mythology of the season. Hold yo=
ur favorite toy in the palm of your mind's eye. That is the US economy toda=
y - a fancy dream, well-constructed, but ultimately hollow.

Marcell Shehwaro, Global Voices: Smuggling a Christmas tree through ISIS ch=
eckpoints; praying that the doors do not close in the faces of the refugees=
 from your country like they were closed in the faces of Mary and Joseph on=
 Christmas Eve=E2=80=A6. Maybe Christmas is about trying to find a miraculo=
us way to penetrate an extremely painful memory and paint some love into it=
.

Fifteen Indigenous Rights Victories That You Didn't Hear About in 2015
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34176-fifteen-indigenous-rights-victorie=
s-that-you-didn-t-hear-about-in-2015
John Ahni Schertow, IC Magazine: From a cancelled hydro dam that spares 20,=
000 people from the burden of displacement, to a simple court admission tha=
t Indigenous peoples do actually make the best conservationists, Indigenous=
 rights victories give us all pause to celebrate, to reflect and to rejuven=
ate our own quests for justice.=20

Your Festive Meal Could Be More Damaging Than a Long-Haul Flight
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/34177-your-festive-meal-could-be-more=
-damaging-than-a-long-haul-flight
George Monbiot, The Guardian: One kilo of protein from either beef or lamb =
reared on a British hill farm causes more greenhouse gas emissions than a p=
assenger flying from London to New York. We miscalculate environmental risk=
; eating certain meats is about the worst thing you can do to the planet.

 10 homes remaining occupied.

Breaking Bread in Kabul
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/34179-breaking-bread-in-kabul=20
Kathy Kelly, Waging Nonviolence: A workshop training on key elements of con=
flict resolution and peer mediation for street children in Afghanistan was =
a success. But I couldn't help but see how Americans are in need of the sam=
e skills and knowledge of nonviolence.

The Christmas Day That Peace Broke Out
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/34180-the-christmas-day-that-peace-br=
oke-out=20
Michael Winship, Moyers & Company: On Christmas Eve in 1914, in the midst o=
f World War I, two sides of the war sang carols to one another and artiller=
y fire stopped. While there are really very few differences among us, there=
 will always be those who seek to turn those small differences into monster=
s. Do not let that happen.
