‘Tis another Christmas Eve,
\nWhether bustling or still —
\nA day, a night, of anticipation
\nOf love, joy, peace and good will.<\/p>\n

\nRich or poor, in bondage or unfettered —
\n‘Tis another Christmas Eve,
\nWhen we stand in hope of brighter things, and better.<\/p>\n

I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas, a happy Hanukkah, a blessed Kwanzaa, or joy in whatever winter festival they celebrate.<\/p>\n\"Facebook\"<\/a>\"twitter\"<\/a>\"pinterest\"<\/a>\"linkedin\"<\/a>\"mail\"<\/a>by <\/span>\"feather\"<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
