the simpler my HOLIDAY PREPARATIONS
become…<O:P>
</O:P>
the closer I feel to OLD FRIENDS as I write my<O:P> </O:P>

<O:P></O:P>
the more I cherish the Oldest
ORNAMENTS…<O:P>
</O:P>
the more fondly I remember<O:P> </O:P>
Christmases PAST…<O:P>
</O:P>
the longer I hold on to a Holiday HUG…

the more I realize Christmas is a<O:P> </O:P>
Matter OF THE HEART…
<O:P></O:P>
the tighter my throat gets when I sing<O:P> </O:P>
“SILENT NIGHT”…<O:P>

the more I enjoy GIVING than receiving…
</O:P>
the more I try to see Christmas<O:P> </O:P>
THROUGH THE EYES OF A CHILD…<O:P>

the longer I sit at night in the<O:P> </O:P>
GLOW OF THE CHRISTMAS TREE…<O:P> </O:P>

CHRISTMAS STORY is...<O:P> </O:P>
