![]() If we can do these three things with courage, with generosity and with humility, then surely we shall achieve that "Peace on earth, Goodwill toward men" which is the eternal message of Christmas, and the desire of us all.Īt my Coronation next June, I shall dedicate myself anew to your service. On this broad foundation let us set out to build a truer knowledge of ourselves and our fellowmen, to work for tolerance and understanding among the nations and to use the tremendous forces of science and learning for the betterment of man's lot upon this earth. That spirit still flourishes in this old country and in all the younger countries of our Commonwealth. Many grave problems and difficulties confront us all, but with a new faith in the old and splendid beliefs given us by our forefathers, and the strength to venture beyond the safeties of the past, I know we shall be worthy of our duty.Ībove all, we must keep alive that courageous spirit of adventure that is the finest quality of youth and by youth I do not just mean those who are young in years I mean too all those who are young in heart, no matter how old they may be. I want to take this Christmas Day, my first opportunity, to thank you with all my heart. For, since my accession ten months ago, your loyalty and affection have been an immense support and encouragement. I shall strive to carry on their work.Īlready you have given me strength to do so. My father, and my grandfather before him, worked all their lives to unite our peoples ever more closely, and to maintain its ideals which were so near to their hearts. Like our own families, it can be a great power for good - a force which I believe can be of immeasurable benefit to all humanity. ![]() We belong, all of us, to the British Commonwealth and Empire, that immense union of nations, with their homes set in all the four corners of the earth.

Wherever you are, either at home or away, in snow or in sunshine, I give you my affectionate greetings, with every good wish for Christmas and the New Year.Īt Christmas our thoughts are always full of our homes and our families. Most of you to whom I am speaking will be in your own homes, but I have a special thought for those who are serving their country in distant lands far from their families. Today I am doing this to you, who are now my people.Īs he used to do, I am speaking to you from my own home, where I am spending Christmas with my family and let me say at once how I hope that your children are enjoying themselves as much as mine are on a day which is especially the children's festival, kept in honour of the Child born at Bethlehem nearly two thousand years ago.
