let us not be disconcerted

I like the word "disconcerted". I had to check with Merriam Webster to make sure I really knew what it meant and I liked this illustration even more after reading the definition: Disconcerted - to throw into confusion or to disturb the composure of.

What a clever way to flip-flop the phrase "peace on earth" with a simple "Let us not be disconcerted."

It makes me smile.

Plus (much to the dismay of a friend who visited Gettysburg with me last month), I still like bonnets.
