A bright and happy Christmas to you! Lift up yourselves to the great meaning of the day, and dare to think of your humanity as something so sublimely precious that it is worthy of being made an offering to God, and then go out to the pleasures and duties of your life, having been truly born anew into His Divinity, as He was born into our humanity on Christmas Day.Most tangible of all the gods that be,O Santa Clausour own since infancy!As first we scampered to theenow, as then,Take us as children to thy heart again.

DO the angels know the blessed day,And strike their harps anew?Then may the echo of their layFloat sweetly down to you,And fill your soul with Christmas songThat your heart shall echo your whole life long. Havergal.
