Recipe
for Christmas All Year Long
Take a
heap of child-like wonder
That opens up our eyes
To the unexpected gifts in life—
Each day a sweet surprise.
Mix in
fond appreciation
For the people whom we know;
Like festive Christmas candles,
Each one has a special glow.
Add some
giggles and some laughter,
A dash of Christmas food,
(Amazing how a piece of pie
Improves our attitude!)
Stir it
all with human kindness;
Wrap it up in love and peace,
Decorate with optimism, and
Our joy will never cease.
If we use
this healthy recipe,
We know we will remember
To be in the Christmas spirit,
Even when it's not December.
