Merry Christmas
To all my readers around the world, Merry Christmas! I hope you have a wonderful day with family, friends and loved ones.
Christmas is forever, not for just one day,
for loving, sharing, giving, are not to put away
like bells and lights and tinsel, in some box upon a shelf.
The good you do for others is good you do yourself…
