Beautiful thought. Love it!
Thanks for the story
A worthy sentiment (unless they’re still drunk from SantaCon.)
That’s exactly as it should be, Gary! All we are saying, is give peace a chance.
To all those who celebrate — here’s to a happy, healthy and peaceful Chanukah.
Beautiful! Peace 🙏🏻❤️🩹
this is the way i wish it were all year round and all over the world!
What a perfect cartoon…such a positive meaning for all of us! Gary has done it again!
Love this! And in light of what is happening in the world even more meaningful.
Nice!
Shalom and Merry
Nice. Peace to all.
As lovely as this may be, why only Judaism and Christianity? Why no representation for Kwanzaa here?
Well that choked me up. Beautiful and, as always, soooo relevant.
Thanks for this Gary!
Beautiful sentiment, Gary. I believe!
