This is the time of year
When friends and family send out Holiday Cheer

Happy we are to see and hear
Pictures of those we hold so dear

We are thinking too of how we might spread some cheer
And also include those who are needy both far and near

Instead of our accustomed picture greeting via the US mail
We thought we’d make use of the internet & send faster than the snail

We’re saving the stamps, the ink, and the paper too
And choosing charities in honor of all of you!

Donations we have decided are the way to proceed
We can bring happiness and joy and health to those in need

We want to send Christmas Greetings -- Happy, Blessed, and as Merry as can be
With hopes that all our family and friends will agree -- and don’t mind that it’s delivered electronically

Our wishes remain constant and true
Sending hopes for health and happiness to all of you!

Merry Christmas 2018 !!
