LOVE ONE ANOTHER...?

A story from the Peanut’s cartoons - you know - with Snoopy and Charlie Brown:

It’s Christmas time and Lucy comes in where Charlie Brown is standing and says, "Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown. `Tis the season of peace on earth and good will toward men. Therefore, I suggest we forget all our differences and love one another."

Charlie Brown, whose face lights up at this, says, "That’s wonderful, Lucy. I’m so glad you said that. But tell me, do we have to love each other only at this season of the year? Why can’t we love each other all year long?"

Lucy retorts, "What are you, a fanatic or something?"
