Well, we're sending a message of a peaceful Christmas, a Christmas filled with love, wishing for harmony among friends, people in families who have different faiths. So I think this year is more of a wish for peace and love than it is for happiness or merriment.

One of the things that I have described in Christmas in Plains is how we have to accommodate those times of sadness or distress or sometimes maybe even fear or sorrow when we've lost a loved one right before Christmas. We can't be expecting happiness or merriment or celebration except a celebration of things, as I said earlier in the program, that never change, that are precious to us.

One of the things that Rose and I do nowadays, since we've got, I think, 23 members in our family, is to try to bring together all the members of our family at least once a year. So over a period of years, as I describe in the book, we've carved out for ourselves the week after Christmas.

So on the 27th of December each year, we gather our whole family together and we go somewhere that's attractive enough to bring the grandkids along with us. And our children and grandchildren who have jobs save up their vacation time for those few days, and we all go to some interesting place. Rosa and I generally try to pay all the bills.

We save up our frequent flower miles to pay the transportation, and we just get reacquainted. So I think in that respect, no matter what the outside world is doing, the Carter Center still preserves the essence of Christmas.
