Nollaig Shona!

Merry Christmas!
 Wishing you and yours the safest, warmest and brightest of holidays this season. Enjoy your family and friends and prepare for all the great things that 2012 will bring!


"Every year at just this time,
In cold and dark December,
Families around the world
All gather to remember,
With presents and with parties,
With feasting and with fun,
Customs and traditions
for people old and young."


- Helen H. Moore




Christmas Magic


Are we too grownup to feel a thrill
...
As we light the Christmas tree?
Are we immune to cookies,
Christmas cards and Christmas glee?


Are we too adult to "Ooh" and "Aah"
At the Christmas candle's glow?
Are we blasé about our gifts;
Do we shun the mistletoe?


Are we too mature for carols,
For merry or for jolly?
Do the decorations leave us cold,
The ornaments and holly?


Fat chance! We'll never grow too old
To love the Christmas magic.
A year without a Christmas
Would be boring, even tragic.


So bring it on! The candy canes,
The feasting and good cheer;
O Christmas, lovely Christmas,
You're the highlight of the year!
