ON THIS NIGHT BEFORE<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

On this night before Christmas,
\nmuch the same as last year,
\nthe house is all quiet,
\nnot a sound can be heard;
\nit’s not quite the same
\nas when the children were here
\nand had dreams of sweet
\nsugarplums dancing about
\nlistening for Santa
\nand his reindeer,
\nthat unmistakable sound.
\nNo rustling of gift wrap,
\nthe midnight directions read
\nfor putting together that
\nlast minute toy.<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

But on this night before Christmas,
\nmuch the same as last year,
\nwe remember the meaning
\nof this day that so often gets lost
\namid the noise and the merriment,
\nand the lights on the tree.
\nWe remember once more
\nthe birth of a Child
\nin humble surroundings
\nunder a star so bright.<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

And on this night before Christmas,
\njust the same as last year,
\nwe pray for peace in this world,
\nthe peace of this season,
\nand joyful hearts one and all.<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
