The beauty of Christmas, it's seeing people feel good together in friendship,
to celebrate this wonderful holiday, in harmony, sharing and with joy.

The beauty of Christmas, is going to the workplace, find more humanity and security,
the person is placed at the centre, with less exploitation and the protection of health is a certainty.

The beauty of Christmas, be united in responsibilities, to give everyone their best,
planning a more just future in equality and solidarity with pride.

The beauty of Christmas, it would acquire even greater value if it were guaranteed,
the right to health, for every citizen and not even a sick person is left abandoned.

The beauty of Christmas, would be more felt if the right to education and study,
was guaranteed to everyone equally and not even a single student was left behind.

The beauty of Christmas, it would increase its splendor, whether in families or in society,
there was more sweetness, more respect, for women, old people and children, within a project of beautiful humanity.

The beauty of Christmas, it will be even more appreciable, if we will commit ourselves more responsibly to the environment,
so that it is more cared for, more respected, to enhance all the riches of nature and its beautiful qualities.

The beauty of Christmas, with your light you bring people, that luminous and pure humanity,
open hearts to break down the walls of selfishness, build bridges and save people fleeing wars with care.

The beauty of Christmas, with the guidance of the comet star, it will become special if we know how to love, listen and help,
the citizens of the world who suffer from hunger, so that they have food to eat and children have the right to play.

The beauty of Christmas, together with the human values ​​of honesty, sincerity, solidarity, social justice and with love he will save us,
