Merry Christmas To you All Richminers

I listen to each question

And answer every one.

Although I am ashamed to say

I must say no to some.

But Santa never scares me;

He doesn't even scold.

He just says, "Try again, my dear,

You're a fine lad, I am told."

Gee, I like to visit Santa Claus

When Christmastime is near.

It's fun to climb up on his lap 

And whisper in his ear...

======================================================================

There was seen a radiance 

Glowing one night 

Near the little maiden Mary 

In blue and white.

"Lilies are not fairer, 

"Roses more red, 

Than the Child she sings to slumber," 

An angel said.

So the shepherds ventured 

Through the white cold, 

And their eyes beheld the Infant, 

An hour old.

======================================================================

Long they gazed and wondered, 

Awkward in awe, 

At the paramount perfection 

Within their straw.

"Diamonds are but trifles! 

"Rubies no gem!" 

Cried the hearts that slaved for pittance 

Near Bethlehem.

So it was forever, 

After the night 

When the little maiden Mary 

Wore blue and white.

======================================================================

May this Christmas be the first of many, 

Each more joyous in our growing love, 

Revealing more of happiness than any 

Riches might provide or pain remove. 

Years flow like an unrepentant river, 

====================================================== ================

Carrying the soil of life away, 

Holding far more than they can deliver, 

Rushing past the certitudes that stay. 

In love there is an instance of forever 

So shy and lovely it eludes the eye, 

======================================================================

The sense of being home when we're together, 

More enduring than a reason why. 

As love is born of passion, borne by will, 

So may for many years we choose love still.

======================================================================

A diamond shines no brighter

than that lovely Christmas star.

It shines in all its brilliance;

it's seen from near or far.

We wish you richminers a lovely merry christmas.
