I set myself upon a quest to find the most-used phrase
That has been used to celebrate the joy of Christmas days.
PEACE ON EARTH came into mind as one used quite a bit.
JOY TO THE WORLD and HAPPY HOLIDAYS are both a hit.

GOD REST YE MERRY GENTLEMEN is one I like a lot.
GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN? Oh, yes! That's one that always hits the spot
But which one is the most-used phrase...the commonest of all?
Unable to decide myself, I gave Toerag a call.

"Hey, Toe!", I said. "What phrase is out there you hear people say
Which best can signify the meaning of the Christmas day?
"That's easy, 'deer", Toerag replied. "The one that is best suited
Is one that I see everywhere - BATTERIES NOT INCLUDED!

I truly don’t get here enough but there is only so much time in the day. I’m glad I didn’t get to miss this utter beauty it is extremely special the writing is perfect and again you have written pure gold. Beautiful work really beautiful. I love it utterly utterly utterly, again thank you for the gift it is definitely a delight to have.

Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy

Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the earthquake wind and fire
