A couple weeks ago, the Catholic Relief Services Choir entertained participants at our Work of Human Hands sale with special Fair Trade carols. Check out our talented colleagues on You Tube and also catch sight of some of the sale’s best selling products.

The catchy carols that the choir is singing came from our colleagues at Global Exchange. They have put a whole packet of carols together for advocates to take around their neighborhoods or to sing at community events this holy season. They are also encouraging each of us to make Fair Trade resolutions in the new year, and I’ll be posting ideas for that next week!

For now, here are the lyrics to “We wish you a Fair Trade Christmas” re-written by Adrienne Fitch-Frankel and sung to the tune of “We wish you a Merry Christmas”

“We wish you a Fair Trade Christmas.
We wish you a Fair Trade Christmas.
We wish you a Fair Trade Christmas,
and Happy New Year.

Fight poverty for producers
And all of their kin.
We wish you a Fair Trade Christmas
and Happy New Year!”
