his is the season when we pause a moment
To sing the old songs
And wish the old wishes
To share the delight of presents exchanged
And rejoice in the spirit of Christmas giving
To rekindle old friendships
And welcome new ones

And so, with all the warmth and friendliness
Of a Christmas Carol...
We wish you a Merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year!
