![]() Gathered 'round, on this here night Reading books at candle's light Sweet memories of Christmas far Two years after second World War Gathered 'round in feel of love Unaware of angels above A little twig, the spirit there Sweet memories of loving care My father then was far away In Indonesia he had to stay He came home real bruised but whole He gave nurture to my soul One candle and a little twig Made our Christmas still real big Gathered 'round, some candies sweet The Christmas Spirit, what else you need I'm the little one in the middle Like scattered leaves...my words will flow [This message has been edited by Titia Geertman (12-21-2006 04:17 PM).] |

The most wonderful gift you can ever give or receive. Comes from a store you would never believe. A stockroom filled with gifts given from where it all starts. The most wonderful gift you can give begins here inside Passion's Hearts. Family, Friends and Love, what more do we need. Merry Christmas!! |

That would have been a perfect Christmas...no fancy toys or decorations, only appreciation of the fact that a tragedy had been endured and survived and a thankfulness that you were all still together. I'm sure it didn't seem like it then but, looking back, I would be surprised if you don't consider it one of the very special times. |
