Chapter 2

Send me by Santa Claus one single smileAnd help me make it Christmas all the while.

Send me by Santa Claus one single smileAnd help me make it Christmas all the while.

Ijust can’t see, to tell you true,How they spelt Christmas without a “You.”For, as for me, there is no doubtIt wouldn’t be Christmas with “You” left out!

A New Year’s Wish.

May the only shadows that you see before youBe those caused by the sun of fortune shiningUpon your back, and your only tears those ofJoy and laughter.

May every hour of Christmas DayStrew life’s best gifts along your way.And when the New Year comes, why thenMay the supply begin again!

The golden argosy of my affectionIs sailing to you over the seas of life,And waits but the Christmas-tide toFloat it to the harbor of your heart!

If you would set my heart aglowCome stand beneath my mistletoe—I’ll show you there with all my powersHow bees sip honey from the flowers!

The air is not vast enough to carry myWireless wishes of joy to you, so take thisCard as a simple statement of your balanceOf love in the Bank of my Heart!

The best of crafts for the Christmas-tideIs a friend-ship that will sure abideThe storm and stress of life’s troubled sea—Such is the craft that I send to thee!
