Christmas Wish, by Elizabeth Deegan Matava

"My Christmas wish for you is that you may hold forever in your heart the golden memories of every happy Christmas Day you have ever known: That you may be brave in the hours of trial when the cross is laid upon your shoulders, when the hill you climb seems very high and the beacon lights of hope are far away.  That every gift God has given you may grow with the years and fill the hearts of those you love with its fragrance: That in every hour you may have a friend worthy of your friendship to whom you can confidently reach a hand when the storm breaks, with whom you can ford the torrent and reach the sun-kissed heights: And that in every hour of joy or sorrow the peace-giving smile of the Christ Child may abide with you and keep you near to God."
-Elizabeth Deegan Matava
