My column’s here this Christmas Day
I hope business success
Has come your way ...
I’d really rather
Give than receive
Shop local, who knows
Read some poetry.
It’s so important as Carson City grows
To support one another
What will happen
Who knows?
May the “Spirit of Christmas”
Enter your heart.
Love and kindness give it a start.
For you and yours
In every way
Merry Christmas to all
On this Christmas Day!
