it’s the time
of jolly
time to hang holly
time to celebrate

time to reflect
on the past
time to
be present

time to share
time to bear
the despairs
for those which we care

time to spread joy
to not only
the little girls & boys
but
to all whom you meet
a smile
a hug
a greeting of love

a seasonal spirit
infectious
contagious
transmittable

it’s up to you
it’s up to me
to be
the giver
the supporter
the patron
of the holidays

and so with this
i raise my glass
and cheer

wishing you
a blissful
Christmas!
