Greetings at Christmas

[Siddhesh Bhatkar]

 

 

 

This 

Xmas, 

I would 

like to put 

up a tree in my 

heart, and instead 

of hanging presents, 

I would like to put the 

names of all my friends. 

Close friends and not so close 

friends. The old friends, the new 

friends. Those that I see every day 

and the ones that I rarely see. The ones 

that I always remember and the ones that 

I sometimes forget. The ones that are always 

there and the ones that seldom are. The friends of 

difficult times and the ones of happy times. Friends 

who, without meaning to, I have hurt, or without meaning 

to have hurt me. Those that I know well and those I only know 

by name. Those that owe me little and those that I owe so much. 

My humble friends and my important friends. The names of all those 

that have passed through my life no matter how fleetingly. A tree with 

very deep roots and very long 

and strong branches so that 

their names may never be 

plucked from my heart. So 

that new names from all 

over may join the existing ones. A tree with a very 

pleasant shade so that our friendship may take a 

moment of rest from the battles of life. "May the 

happy moments of Xmas brighten every day of 

the new year". These are my sincere wishes.

MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR 2011

 

Have yourselves a Wonderfully Holy & Blessed Christmas with your family and loved ones…

…and then go on to have a Happy & Prosperous New Year 2011!

Best Regards.
