THE JOY OF GIVING

Somehow, not only for Christmas

But all the year through,

The joy that you give to others

Is the joy that comes back to you;

And the more you spend in blessing

The poor and lonely and sad,

The more of your heart’s possessing

Returns to make you glad.

WISHING YOU ALL A VERY SAFE AND HAPPY CHRISTMAS
