A Christmas wish for the New Year

Christmas is, and should be, a celebration of and for children. Sharing Christmas with our two children and new grandchild made Christmas this year extra special. Our son rarely gets to see his three month old niece and it was clear from his body language that he thinks she's someone extra special.

Christmas is, or should be, a time when wishes come true. There's also a cautionary old saying about "Be careful what you wish for, you may get it." Somehow, this year, we missed sharing with any of you a packet of Christmas wishes that we have for all of you . On this day after Christmas, as the old year closes and a new one opens, with deepest thanks to Robert Zimmerman, we offer these wishes for each of you and all of us for at least the next year.


Forever Young


Written by: Bob Dylan 


May God bless and keep you always
May your wishes all come true
May you always do for others
And let others do for you
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young

May you grow up to be righteous
May you grow up to be true
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you
May you always be courageous
Stand upright and be strong
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young

May your hands always be busy
May your feet always be swift
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift
May your heart always be joyful
May your song always be sung
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young
