Christmas is Forever ...

Christmas is forever, not for just one day,

for loving, sharing, giving, are not to put away

like bells and lights and tinsel, in some box upon a shelf.

The good you do for others is good you do yourself...

~Norman Wesley Brooks (1923–2002)

Celebrate the Season

Fail not to call to mind, in the course of the twenty-fifth of this month, that the Divinest Heart that ever walked the earth was born on that day; and then smile and enjoy yourselves for the rest of it; for mirth is also of Heaven's making. ~Leigh Hunt

I can understand people simply fleeing the mountainous effort Christmas has become... but there are always a few saving graces and finally they make up for all the bother and distress.

I have absolutely no clue where any of the items used to make this card came from. This was a card I started to make in a card class some time ago but never completed. Not even sure I have all the pieces to the origigal card! But its done now!

Its 4.25 x 5.50 and has a tag tucked into the pocket.
