I am sending out a Christmas box,To the ones that are true and dear.It’s crammed right to the very top,With love and Christmas cheer.I spoke to old St. Nick today,He said that he would see,That Christmas Eve you’d find it,Right beneath your Christmas tree.Now when you tear the wrapping off,And open wide the lid,Be very… Read More CHRISTMAS by Katherine Cary Place
