Dependant from draped boughs of green festooned with baubles bright , Aloft o'er cherished manger scene on cotton snow of white . Our hopes reflect as twinkling stars resplendantly to glow , reflected in the eyes of those we've gathered close for 'lo... The figurines unpacked again now take their rightful place , as if brought forth to testify our homes and hearths they grace , as joyous sounds of voices raised in animation swell , and peals of laughter ring out loud "Sleigh Ride" , and " Silver Bells "... Play softly in pine scented air and help maintain this spell , when peace bestows for moment brief the sense that all is well . Too soon lament the cycles end when all is packed away , stowed safe within our hearts again until next Christmas day ... And yet surely some echo faint remains when thoughts are clear , dependant now upon ourselves to bring to this New Year . |

Doc, when I see your name, I wait for the punch line... but this time, it is a splendid line indeed, and the warmth emanates from someone wonderful... you... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, then speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

Hey this was wonderful! I loved it!!!!!!! The title is great too!  I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. I hate your socks. I'd like to burn them! |

Sunshine, Well , we can't just be frivolous all the time , running willy-nilly through life , now can we ? Oh , okay , maybe we can .Glad you enjoyed . Doc Olias, Thank you ,I really enjoyed the piece you wrote and look forward to more . Doc Elizabeth , and Elizabeth , Wow ! Now I'm impressed , not often someone replys back to back like that . Thank you ! Doc Dopey_Dope, Thanks , actually the title didn't occur to me until I re-read it a few times and realized that the rhyme and meter would fit to the original song . Doc d, I try very hard to keep some semblance of this spirit with me at all times , but come Christmas ... I can positively glow .Thanks d, Doc |
