Peace On Earth, Goodwill Toward Men

We truly wish each and every one of you, friends and family, near and far, all the blessings of a Joyous and Merry Christmas.

 
May you have the gladness of Christmas which is hope;
The spirit of Christmas which is peace;
The heart of Christmas which is love."
 
~Ada V. Hendicks

 


 
When Christmas bells are swinging above the fields of snow,
We hear sweet voices ringing from lands of long ago,
And etched on vacant places
Are half-forgotten faces
Of friends we used to cherish,
And loves we used to know.

 
~ Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Merry Christmas to you and yours, Jo! I love that 2nd poem... brought tears to my eyes.
Oh.. and we just had a British Emporium open up near us. We checked it out and I actually got some Scottish shortbread that was Gluten free! And they're good! Also bought some Marmite - to just try. And saw lots of dark chocolate with whiskey (for maybe next time)!

Merry Christmas to you and all of your family. I always enjoy the verses you share. We just viewed a movie about Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. You would enjoy it I bet.
