Oh, Make My Christmas Bright

Oh, make my Christmas bright with gaiety, with scents of cookies baking and the tree, a fir bejeweled and lovely in its trim of silver tinsel sparkling from each limb. Oh, make the Yuletide shine with harmony. Yes, make it ring with laughter and with glee as crowded round the organ, family sing “Jingle Bells” and “Deck the Halls” with vim! Oh, make my Christmas bright. And make it ever gleam that I might see those glistening faces smiling back at me around the fireplace as day grows dim and all recall the miracle of Him we’re reverencing. How fond my memory! Oh, make my Christmas bright.

A holiday gem, Andrea. I'm getting the spirit just reading your poem. "Ho, ho, ho, MERRY CHRISTMAS!" This is quoting Burl Ives. (I think) An absolute winner - no need to wish you luck. Love, daver
