Merry Christmas everyone! Too bad that I am in Taiwan and it is not a holiday here.

To all the denizens of Dave's:

The Meaning of Christmas

Beneath the colored lights and noise,
The shopping frenzy and the ads,
The TVs� touting �must have� toys,
The crowds, the Muzak, this year�s fads,
Beneath all that, unsullied still,
By all the shrill commercial lures,
The Christmas prayer of goodwill,
Of peace and decency endures.

And even though it often seems
That Santa has replaced the Child,
That elves and reindeer reign supreme,
That Christmas Day has been defiled,
Within each soul, so deep and true,
The meaning of the season lives.
And every year we learn anew
How blessed is the one who gives.

Yet what we search for in the mall,
And what we place under our trees
Has no importance, none at all
The things themselves are not what please.
Instead it is because they show
The love that presents represent.
Receiving them, we come to know
How much our being there has meant.

And when we give, it is a part
Of ourselves that we want to share.
Each gift is sent forth from the heart
To show how very much we care.
At Christmas time we bring to mind
What we should know throughout the year,
That we belong to humankind
And we must hold each other dear.


God bless us, everyone.

Regards,
John
