At Christmas, simple things are best:
A family meal, a day of rest,
A sprig of holly on the tree,
A sweet noel, sung joyfully.
A cozy fire, a child at play,
A tale of Santa on his sleigh,
A glowing candle burning bright,
Reminder of the Savior's light.
A hug exchanged, a burden shared,
A broken heart sweetly repaired,
A listening ear, a gentle hand,
A tender heart to understand.
A hug exchanged, a burden shared,
A broken heart sweetly repaired,
A listening ear, a gentle hand,
A tender heart to understand.
Hold fast to lovely things and true;
Let peace on earth begin with you.

Peace on earth is so elusive and one is so helpless not able to do much.

Indeed, may it be so!
Decorations took more imagination and energy than I had this year, so my house is simple. And I give myself permission to be ok with that. Merry Christmas friend. Lovely words from you again.
