Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Let your heart be light
Next year,
All our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Make the yuletide gay,
Next year,
All our troubles will be miles away.
The rest of the lyrics.

I'm just catching up on my blog reading and love the new look, Liz. Very classy and easy on the eyes.
I have two today from my kids' favorite Christmas anthology, to be filed under "Holiday Poems", Eleanor Farjeon's "In the Week When Christmas Comes" and Countee Cullen's "Under the Mistletoe":

Got you all; and wow, I had no idea that my blogroll was this far behind. So I've updated that also; sorry for those left off before this.
Becky, thanking for confirming that it's easy on the eyes; that was my main reason for switching over to blogger beta and messing with the template.
Thanks for catching me Liz!
Happy Holidays to all!
