Christmas is the time of the year
when we gather round a fire
together with family and friends,
tell jokes and long yarns,
roasting chestnuts and marsh-mellows
until the dawn breaks.

Christmas is the time of celebrating
with good cheer with everyone
who crosses our path.
Let us hope it continues
long after Christmas has gone
and all through the year.

David Harris
