What gift would you ask Father Christmas to give you, and how would you use it to help heal your world?gifts from F. Christmas.jpeg
 
If I'm allowed to wish big:

I wish I had something like Wonder Woman's lasso, forcing people to tell the truth. Imagine if dozens of evildoers in positions of undeserved privilege and authority suddenly went on television and confessed their crimes! Before they could recover from the spell, I would make sure they turned over proof, so they couldn't pretend afterwards that their confessions WEREN'T the truth. Then, millions of honest people, who honestly differed about who was right on various issues, would enjoy far more certainty about which side to take in any question.
 
Copperfox, both empowering people to be honest (and thus making it easier able to discern what is true), would be such a great gift!
HermioneLucy -- you could do a lot of good with Lucy's fireflower cordial, especially these days!

I would ask for the gift to help people to get un-stuck
 
I wish I _could_ say that my idea was merely about "empowering people to be honest." Unfortunately, as Mister Lewis described in That Hideous Strength, and Tolkien in his portrayal of Saruman, millions of people don't _want_ to be truthful; they _enjoy_ lying. And people who are being injured by liars can't always afford to _wait_ for the liars to come clean voluntarily.

On a lighter note: I would also like to possess the means to convert VHS tapes to digital format, because I have home-movie-type videotapes I would like my daughter to be able to view after I arrive in Aslan's Country.

I _have_ to share this video, but it would be ridiculous to create a new topic _only_ for it. So, Benisse, your comparatively recent thread is elected.

(For those who don't know, the Christmas carol used for this mashup originated in Ukraine, so be reminded to pray for them again.)
