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.

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!!
