This never more can be; We cannot bring again the days Of our unshadowed glee.
Now that you've met me and several other visitors of the Inspiration Oasis Community, Let's Stay In Touch! Glitter and glisten, gleam and glow, Oh Christmas tree, we love you so! Family and friends Knowing that they'll be there til the end A baby born Wrapped in cloth that was torn Just to save me Why can't they see? Memories To Treasure May the days until Christmas be full of sweet pleasure, And your holidays create joyful memories to treasure.
Giles Fletcher A Christmas Carol Before the paling of the stars, Before the winter morn, Before the earliest cock-crow, Jesus Christ was born: Born in a stable, Cradled in a manger, In the world His hands had made Born a stranger.
Joseph be near you in sorrow, And the high Saints of Erin be guarding your morrow, May Peace be your treasure, and long be your living, With joy in good measure for taking and giving.
