Christmas 2024

A very merry Christmas

To all our family and friends

Good wishes for the new year

And for happiness that never ends

For some, it's just another day

For others, an extravagant affair

A time for faith and contemplation

Small gatherings or big celebration

A time to give and share

We send our Christmas greetings

To our loved ones, far and near

We'll raise a glass for those we've lost

To the people who can't be here

Yuletide blessings are wished for you

Good tidings and greetings of the season

Old family traditions flowing

Or new ones budding and growing

A day of connection and cohesion

Blessed Yuletide, happy Wednesday

Merry Christmas, blessed be

All the best to all of you

From my menfolk and me
