Merry Christmas To Everyone!

[ozarkhillbilly]

"How lovely 'tis to take this time
To greet our dearest friends,
To wish them health and happiness
Before the old year ends.

Darkness comes late afternoon
And winter lies ahead,
But friendship is a glowing fire
When all seems cold and dead.

Just as in some vacant barn,
Unnoticed in the night,
The whole of human history turns,
So we, too, make things right.

We must keep alive the flame
Though darkness grip the Earth;
For in the love we find in friends
Is our chance for rebirth."

Wishing a safe and Happy New Year to all and a very Merry Christmas. The friendships formed here are every bit as special as the bonds felt for my family.

May you all be blessed this coming New Year.
