Recipe for a Happy New Year

To leave the old with a burst of song
To recall the right and forgive the wrong;
To forget the thing that binds you fast
To the vain regrets of the year that's past;
To have the strength to let go your hold
Of the not worthwhile of the days grown old,
To dare to go forth with a purpose true,
To the unknown task of the year that's new;
To help your brother along the road
To do his work and lift his load;
To add your gift to the world's good cheer,
Is to have and to give a Happy New Year.


On this Day in History

I think that is one thing about this Christmas my kids will never forget!! Also, they love everything they got, and even donated a few of their old stufties to kids at the Christmas lunch!

These were not beat up stufties though...most of them still had tags attached!!
