Years come and go, holidays appear and disappear.
Much too fast, we fast forward and race out of our past.
What’s a little Christmas cheer on this 25th of December?
Linger a bit, let the holiday sit,
Thank the world for what you’ve got.
Partners, customers, family and friends,
Anchored you are in all our thoughts.
May this holidays bring you all that you need,
And nary what you want,
For we may sometimes be blind to all that is dear.
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and to a Great New Year.
