I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day

I heard the bells on Christmas day Their old familiar carols play, And wild and sweet the words repeat Of peace on earth, good will to men. I thought how, as the day had come, The belfries of all Christendom Had rolled along th'unbroken song Of peace on earth, good will to men. And in despair I bowed my head: 'There is no peace on earth, ' I said 'For hate is strong, and mocks the song Of peace on earth, good will to men.' Then pealed the bells more loud and deep: 'God is not dead, nor doth He sleep; The wrong shall fail, the right prevail, With peace on earth, good will to men.' Till, ringing, singing on its way, The world revolved from night to day A voice, a chime, a chant sublime, Of peace on earth, good will to men. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Great thread, Kathy. I guess my only traditions are opening
presents on Christmas day after I have made homemade
biscuits for breakfast. We have a steak dinner instead of
turkey, because MR. LUV has never cared for turkey! He’s a
brat! LOL! Sometimes we watch old Chrismas classics, such
as “White Christmas” before taking naps. :D

Hope everyone has a lovely Christmas with whatever their
tradition is!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hehehehe....I thought you might.
