Christmas Card

A pale blue haze hangs heavily over the earth Or it seems to on this beautiful Christmas card Announcing the miracle of sweet Jesus’s birth A pale blue haze hangs heavily over the earth The manger scene, an unlikely common berth, A story told time and again by the poet bard A pale blue haze hangs heavily over the earth Or it seems to on this beautiful Christmas card.

Thanks so much, Caren. This is a rework of one I wrote some time ago. When I read it, it had one line too many, so I fixed that and reposted it for a contest.

They certainly convey the message of Christmas Milton. I find nativity cards are getting harder to find each year which is a real shame. Tom

It's far too expensive a thing to do nowadays, considering the cost of the cards and the postage. Our list got completely out of control, so we just stopped doing it.
