-- Short poems
To those we love and see each day
and other loved ones far away
To all good friends who mean so much,
and those with whom we're are of touch…
Heap on the wood
The wind is chill
But let it whistle as it will
We'll keep our Christmas merry still.
Good news from heaven the angels bring
Glad tidings to the earth they sing
To us this day a child is given
To crown us with the joy of heaven.
Christmas wises tried and true,
I’m sending now, just for you,
a little love, a little cheer,
and wishes for a great New Year
May the peace and blessings
of Christmas be yours;
And may the coming year
be filled with happiness.
May the Christmas season
fill your home with joy
your heart with love
and your life with laughter.
May Joy be your gift at Christmas
And may Faith, Hop and Love be
your treasures in the New Year
The magic of Christmas never ends and its greatest of gifts are family and friends…
