Merry Christmas to all who celebrate, Happy Hanukkah, Blessed Ramadan, Bright Kwannza, and of course (my personal favorite) Blessed Yule. May the deity of your choice bring you light and love this season and all year through.



If i cannot bring you comfort,
then at least I bring you hope
for nothing is more precious
than the time we haven't sold

We all must learn from small misfortunes
count the blessings that are real
Let the bells ring out for Christmas
at the closing of the year

Let the bells ring out for Christmas
at the closing of the year

Now all the winter bells are ringing
hear them echo through the snow
and the children's voices singing
on the streets so far below

This is a time to be together
and the truth is somewhere here
within our love for people
at the closing of the year...

Or, or if you prefer:

Starlight falling on the snow; fire glows within.
Celebrate the joyful news: Hope is born again.
There is holly 'round the doorway, there is cider on the stove
And the sound of song will fill the air as the family gathers close

Lift your voices high and sing
Grace has entered in
Celebrate the joyful news
Hope is born again

Through the frost upon the window, see the stockings on the
Where the light reflects the cheerfulness that's growing in our hearts

Lift your voices high and sing
Grace has entered in
Celebrate the joyful
Hope is born again

And the hope of that first Yule tide, the day the Sun King comes to Earth
Now it comes again and fills our heart, as we celebrate the birth

Starlight falling on the snow; fire glows within
Celebrate the joyful news:
Hope is born again
Hope is born again
