I wish I knew enough Greek and Latin to translate to my own satisfaction if the Biblical verse is “… peace, goodwill toward men.” Or “… peace to men of goodwill.” The latter sort of seems more fair, always has since I was in school — if the former, as if kids who cheated on tests and got away with it shouldn’t have guilty consciences.
I knew a guy in the ’60’s who would purposely annoy his parents at the dinner table by using his best Bob Dylan voice to request “Pass the peeeeas pleeeeese.”
In our liturgy, we have a certain action called “The Handshake of Peace.” We turn to people around us and shake their hands, saying “Peace Be With You.” My aged father had the unfortunate habit of saying, without malice or irony, “Peace on You.”
Find a small charitable thrift store for your donations. Goodwill is a MAJOR corporation that is all about the money. At least that is how it is in Arizona. The Greater-Phoenix area alone has nearly a hundred stores that have driven smaller thrifts out of business. The Goodwill head office is a Stainless-steel/marble monolith of a building. Even though they bring in millions/day they still panhandle every person at the checkout for “spare change”.

In some of the areas here it certainly seems like peace on earth is a thing (unfortunately, with a different spelling)!

This is wrong. You have to take the legumes out of the can and spill them on the ground to have peas on earth.

The only thing they want more than peas on earth is to see a chickpea on earth.

Goodwill is a ripoff. What people donate they sell for a profit.
