The big day is here. It’s time to prepare for Christmas. The lists are in. The requests have been made. Santa is aware. Classical Christmas is on Apple Music. Turkey is behind us,aand joy is before us.

We ride our horse-drawn sleigh through the woods, the new-fallen snow glistening. The Deer Family nods their heads and smiles at us. We wait for the Turkey Family to Turkey Trot across the path. We drink happily from the spiced apple cider. Christmas Dreams fill our heads. Stars fill our eyes.

A little girl sits by the side of the Woods Path. She is ill-clad and ill-fed. We are all laughing, but sheiis crying.

Join us we cry…come aboard. We have plenty to share…

Now we feel complete. Joy has taken up residence in our hearts. The Little Girl sings with us, ‘Joy to the world’…
