Merry Christmas …

Embrace your loved ones, hold ‘em tight;

           Be thankful that they’re here tonight

To celebrate this Christmastime for yet another year.

Remember, too, those who once shared

           our Christmas joy, they’re why we cared

To keep traditions live and oh, so dear.

And think of those who couldn’t come,

           perhaps reach out and share the sum

Of all the love and laughter now around.

Hold fast the spirit of the season,

           know that it’s the very reason

Goodness in the world can still be found.

The very best to you and yours….

And PLEASE stay safe and warm as we have what we’re told is possibly the coldest Christmas ever around these parts!
