My friend sent this to me.

Thought you might like to share it too

May You all have a Beatiful Christmas and may 2010 be kind to you.

'We have a list of folks we know

All written in a book,

And every year at Christmas time

We go and have a look,

And that is when we realize

These names are just a part,

Not of the book they're written in

But of our very hearts.

Each name stands for someone

Whose path touched ours, and then,

Left such a print of friendship, love, and more

That we want to touch again.

And while it sounds fantastic

For us to make this claim,

I really feel we are composed

Of each remembered name.

So never think of Christmas cards

As just a mere routine,

Of names upon a Christmas list

Forgotten in-between

And when we send this Christmas card

That is addressed to you,

It is because you're on that list

Of folk we're indebted to.

And every year when Christmas comes

We realise anew,

The biggest gift that life can give

"is knowing folks like you"

And may this Spirit of Christmas

That forever and ever endures,

Leave its richest blessings

In the Hearts of You and Yours.
