There's More to Christmas…
There's more, much more to Christmas
Than just candle-lights and cheer;
It's the spirit of sweet friendship
That brightens all the years;
It is thoughtfulness and kindness,
It is hope that is reborn again,
For peace, for understanding
And for goodwill to humans!

This Christmas…
On this Christmas…Pray,
To your enemy, forgiveness
To an opponent, tolerance
To a friend, your heart
To a customer, service
To all, charity
To every child, a good example
To yourself, respect

Christmas is Here!
A good time is coming
I wish it were here,
The very best time in the whole year;
I am counting each day on my fingers and thumbs
The weeks that must pass before Santa Claus comes

When the first snowflakes begin to come down,
And the wind whistles sharp and the branches turn brown,
I won't mind the cold, though it numbs my fingers,
For it brings the time nearer, when Santa Claus comes!

Christmas for Friends
Christmas is a holiday for friends,
However they may be, or not, related.
Remember that the Three Wise Kings were strangers
In search of one remote, uncanny dream
So may we all be far more than we seem,
Together bound for dark and haunting changes,
Lovelier for the loves we have created
Along the lonely paths from means to ends,
Stumbling towards that Star of Bethlehem!
