May peace dwell with you
may prosperity huddle near.
May family and friends gather together without heartache or tear.
There is a star shinning
in the night sky...just there.
It is for you to wish upon to keep your safe from care.
May everything you need
be yours to have and proclaim
as you're due: just close your eyes
and ask it to the winter queen,
Merry Christmas to you, dear friends,
Let your season be a blessed one,
filled with love, happiness and cheer.

A calm Christmas Eve. I have our dinners for today and tomorrow planned. Tonight, a simple Crab Imperial, and for tomorrow Roast Beef with Yorkshire Pudding and trimmings. Just family, friends, good food, and copious holidays spirits. The flowers were done by the Dame and picked up today for the table.
I finish with my grandmother's favorite carol, Christmas Eve in My Hometown. It brings her here with us on this day.
Wish you all a Happy Christmas Eve and a Merry Yuletide!
