An Xmas card idea - John Lennon lyrics.

[NurseLefty]

I have a stack of cardstock and envelopes, and I am brainstorming for ideas. Since I have family who are stupid enough to have voted for *, I am trying to come up with an idea that sends a message.
To me, John Lennon's music is universal. His lyrics have been heard all over the globe. If there is any one song that brings me to tears, it's "Imagine".
I am thinking of sending my Christmas cards simply with the lyrics of this song. Or, I could include the lyrics of "Happy Christmas (War Is Over)".
Any preference?
Here are the lyrics:
Imagine
Imagine there's no heaven,it's easy if you try, no hell below us,
above us only sky. Imagine all the people, living for today...
Imagine there's no countries, it isn't hard to do,nothing to kill or die for,no religion too.
Imagine all the people living life in peace...
You may say I'm a dreamer,but I'm not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,and the world will live as one.
Imagine no possessions,I wonder if you can,no need for greed or hunger,a brotherhood of man.
Imagine all the people, sharing all the world...
You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one, I hope some day you'll join us,and the world will live as one.

Happy Christmas (War Is Over)
And so this is Christmas, and what have you done?
Another year over, and a new one just begun.
And so this is Christmas, I hope you have fun,
The near and the dear ones, the old and the young.
A very Merry Christmas,and a Happy New Year.
Let's hope it's a good one,without any fear.
And so this is Christmas, for weak and for strong,
For rich and for poor ones, the war is so wrong.
And so happy Christmas, for black and for white,
For yellow and red ones, let's stop all the fight.
A very Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year.
Let's hope it's a good one, without any fear.
So this is Christmas, and what have you done?
Another year over, and a new one just begun.
And so happy Christmas, I hope you have fun,
The near and the dear ones, the old and the young.
A very Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year.
Let's hope it's a good one, without any fear.

1. Imagine. What a great idea...

I might borrow it (I make cards every year) and use these lines:


"Imagine all the people living life in peace...
You may say I'm a dreamer,but I'm not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,and the world will live as one."

2. Hope I get a card from you, : )

My redneck right-wing family would be seriously pissed at me if I sent a card like that! (HMMM!)

3. I say, go for it!

Show your family that you care!

4. I was looking for "Peace" Xmas cards just today

We won't be sending out many cards this year. But we will send some to elderly relatives. So, I was looking around the net for cards with the "peace" theme.

I'm sure you'll come up with a great idea using the lyrics as inspiration. And I hope you show us your design.

6. All you have to do is get some christmas cards with no inscription

than use your own peace message by writing it out on the pc and then printing the cares on a printer if you have one, I have been doing that for the past few years, I would write them out but I my handwriting is not exactly eligible...

This is such a great idea to sound out peace messages in christmas cards...
