Christmas Cards

"When Christmas comes again

'Mid holly wreaths and snow,

The precious gift of friendship

Takes on an added glow.

With each Christmas card we write,

We see a dear friend's face

And treasure each fond memory

That time cannot erase.

Though many miles may separate

Our paths down through the years,

Dear friends are always close at heart

When Christmastime is here.

Abundant love is tucked inside

Each Christmas card we send,

And with it there's the silent prayer:

God bless you always, friend."

~Kay Hoffman

Ideals Christmas

"I treasure all my Christmas cards;

They mean so much to me,

Each one from someone special whom

I'd so much like to see.

Some come from friends I don't oft see,

They live too far away,

Their cards are like a friendly smile

That brightens Christmas Day.

The message each one brings to me

From friends on my own street,

Is like a gift that's wrapped with love,

Each one a yuletide treat.

I'm thankful for these lovely cards

That come to me each year,

These precious notes of friendship with

Their greetings of good cheer.

And I wish for you this Christmas all

The joy the season brings;

Peace, good health, and lots of love,

The best of everything."

A Christmas card for you!

Happy First Day of Winter!

"Winter is the time for comfort,

for good food and warmth,

for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire;

it is the time for home."
