May you all have a very Merry Christmas

And may your new year be prosperous.

May you count your blessings

One by one,

And in counting them

May you remember

God's only begotten son.

That infant in a manager

Over Two thousand years ago,

Died on that cross in Calvary,

Brought to this world

On that first Christmas Morn

To carry the sins of the world

On his heavy shoulders

So we may have a chance at eternity.

May you all have a blessed Christmas

A Prosperous new year,

May you know laughter,

And even tears,

May you share love

And have loved shared with you.

May you all have a blessed Christmas

and a Prosperous New Year.
