Tis the gift to be simple, ’tis the gift to be free;
‘Tis the gift to come down where we ought to be;
And when we find ourselves in the place just right,
‘Twill be in the valley of love and delight.
_”Simple Gifts.” (c.1875) Shaker Song
Live with purpose; love with Passion;
Speak kindly; dress pretty, and share the Joy!
Tis the Season~
That was very interesting about Charles Dickens. Must look up Simple Gifts as I have never heard of it.
I am close to the end of Christmas preparations. We will make lefsa one more day and krumakaka. I bake and give most of it away to family and friends.
The greatest gift 🎁 is the Christ child. I know Christmas gas become commercialized but the story continues.
