Hi Everyone,

Just passing this along, found it in our local paper last year and decided to enclose a copy of it with my Christmas cards. Thought you'd all enjoy it.

The Christmas List

I have a list of folks, all written in a book.
And every year at Christmas time I go and take a look.
And that is when I realize that these names are a part,
Not of the book they're written in, but of my very heart.

For each name stands for someone whose path touches mine,
And left such a print of friendship that I want to touch again.
And while it sounds fantastic for me to make this claim,
I really feel I am composed of each remembered name.

And while you may not be aware of any special link,
Just meeting you has shaped my life more than you could think,
For once you've met somebody, the years cannot erase,
The memory of a pleasant word or of a friendly face.

So never think my Christmas cards are just a mere routine,
Of names upon a Christmas list - forgotten in between.
For when I send a Christmas card that is addressed to you,
It's because you're on a list of folks I am indebted to.

For one is but a total of many folks they've met,
And you happen to be one of those I prefer not to forget.
And whether I have known you for many years or few,
In some way you have had a part in shaping things I do.

And every year when Christmas comes I realize anew,
The biggest gift life can give is meeting folks like you.

So may the Spirit of Christmas that forever and ever endures,
Leave its richest blessing in the hearts of you and yours.
