THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS

I have a list of people I know all written in a book
And every year at Christmas time I go and take a look
And that is when I realise that those names are 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 some time
And in that meaning they’ve become a treasured friend of mine
And once you’ve met some people the years cannot erase
The memory of a pleasant word or a friendly face.

So when I send a Christmas card that is addressed to you
It’s because you’re on that list of folk I’m indebted to
And you are one of many folk who in times past I’ve met
And happen to be one of those I don’t want to forget.

And whether I have known you for many years or few
In some way you have a part in shaping things I do
This, the spirit of Christmas, that forever and ever endures
May it leave its richest blessing in the heart of you and yours.
