I got this as a Christmas card from friends, I enjoyed it so much, and thought some of you may enjoy reading it as well. It is long, but worth the read! I got this last year, but would like to post it for the members to read. The Author is George A. Gladden, Sr.....Copyright My Christmas Card List I have a list of folks I know, all written in a book, And every year when Christmas comes, I go and take a look. That is when I realize these names are all a part, Not of the book they're written in, but of my very heart. For each name stands for someone who has crossed my path sometime, And in that meeting they've become the rhythm in each rhyme. While it may sound fantastic for me to make this claim, I really feel that I'm composed of each remembered name. And while you may not be aware of any special link, Just meeting you has changed my life much more than you may think. For once I'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 address to you, It's because you're on the list of folks I'm endeared to. For I am but a total of the many folks I've met, And you happen to be one of those I prefer not to forget. 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 relize anew, The best gift life can offer is meeting folks like you. So, may the spirit of Christmas that forevermore endures Leave its richest blessings in the hearts of you and yours. Written by: George A. Gladden, Sr. I hope you enjoyed this.....I sure did!.....
