\nOn the day after Christmas
\nall quiet in the house,
\nthe presents unwrapped,
\nnot a sound to be heard
\nas memories of the day
\ndance about in my head
\nwhile I put them away
\nwith joy and with care
\nthe memories,
\none by one,
\ninto that very special place
\nreserved for the most
\nspecial ones.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
\nwhose faces lit up with glee
\nas they opened the gifts
\nthey found under the tree;
\nthe turkey roasted
\nto perfection,
\ndinner with family
\nand friends,
\nmemories that
\nwon’t be forgotten,
\na joyful Christmas again.
\nAnd the birth of a child
\nthat started it all,
\nunder a star so bright
\non that night long ago.<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
\nI look back on it all
\nas throughout the year
\nI’ll remember this day
\nand cherish the memories
\nthat bring warmth to my heart
\nand look forward to next year
\nas we get together once more.<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
\nof my family and friends,
\nthe Happiest New Year,
\nfull of promise and hope.<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
