I am the Christmas Spirit
That comes with the start of December
A winter solstice spell, perhaps,
When people forget to remember --
********
The drab realities of fact,
The cherished hurt of ancient wrongs,
The lonely comfort of being deaf
To human sighs and angel's songs.
********
Suddenly, they lose their minds
To heart's demands and beauty's grace;
And deeds extravagant with love
Give glory to the commonplace.
--Antony F. Perrino

How special this is Julie. Just love the image and the words. I also especially like the soft teal green of your site. Lovely choice for Christmas. Traditional but uncommon.

Love your childhood Christmas story…
I bet you say that poem every year.
I sang with two others “What child is this” in a school pageant.
And I still sing it today, I cannot sing and that is the only song that I can
almost pull off. Although it does sound a little worse each year…
