When Christmas Bells Are Swinging

When Christmas bells are swinging
above the fields of snow
we hear sweet voices ringing
from lands of long ago.
...Ella Wheeler Wilcox

This Christmas...could you deliver dreams come true. Fill lonely hearts with love and bring us close (at least in thought) to those we're fondest of?

My mom passed away 17 years ago on Christmas Day. As we spend time with loved ones, we also remember the ones we have lost.

Peace, good will and happiness for you and your family at Christmas and always. Have a wonderful holiday, however you choose to celebrate it.
