Happy Holidays From Me To You

I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays too,
As there are different celebrations… some for me and some for you.
And as we look to the sky on Christmas night
We may see Santa's sleigh dashing in flight,
But there are other objects falling to earth
Some believe started life or created its birth.
It's these black stones we hold in our hands
and put on our shelves and display on our stands,
That have an attraction one cannot explain
To desire, collect, study the minerals they contain.
So if you wish for one in your stocking, or under the tree
Just remember, the best gift of all…
are your friends and your family.
