Merry Christmas 2013: Carols everywhere

Merry Christmas from A Tuesday Night Memo.

•

Christmas Time is Here

Christmas time is here

Happiness and cheer

Fun for all that children call

Their favorite time of the year.

Snowflakes in the air

Carols everywhere

Olden times and ancient rhymes

Of love and dreams to share.

Sleigh bells in the air

Beauty everywhere

Yuletide by the fireside

And joyful memories there.

Christmas time is here

Families drawing near

Oh, that we could always see

Such spirit through the year.
