May you have years of health
Days of joy
Moments of sadness
and the wisdom to appreciate them all.

Sue Stein, St. Paul, MN

May you find friends when you are lost
and a laugh to get you through the pain.
May you find home even if it's not where you were looking.
May you give your smile,your wisdom and your heart wherever they are needed.

May you be richly blessed with music to nurish the soul, laughter to brighten the heart, knowledge to banish the fear, and enough time and money to have peace throughout the year!

Suelin Werner, Cottage Grove, MN

Let me be
the flicker,
no, flame,
no, fire
of hope
another person
might need.

Elissa Elliott, Rochester, MN

We give thanks for peace
And all those who make it possible.
May we find it in our own hearts...

Robin Taylor, Rochester, MN

This year
breathe more easily.
Talk less, listen more.
Spend more time with a child-
Their frequent smiles are contagious.
Adopt an older person-
you'd be surprised what you both have to offer.
Hold dear
your charity, sincerity, and honesty.
Do not compromise here.
Treasure success at home first

Aleesha Ackerman, Forest Lake

I watch the geese fly overhead
on this gray December day;
They change formation
to adapt to the speed of the wind,
yet,
somehow keep on course.
Let all of us
be like the geese--
adapting to life,
changing when necessary,
but never losing sight
of the final destination

Mary Geisenhoff

Put wishes of peace and goodwill into action. . .
keep the spirit of Christmas alive all year.
Watch for the hungry, lonely, sick, poor, or in prison,
the outcast, alienated, opressed:
Bless them with what they need.
Each month has a 25th. . .
Keep the spirit of Christmas alive all year.

Carolyn Lorbiecki, Bigfork,MN

By whatever name we call You,
God
Allah
Holy One
We are one people
one family
one world
In Your eyes.
Help us to live that reality and bring us to peace.

Kate Goodwill, St. Paul, MN

This December
May Hanukkah's dedication;
Ramadan's charity, mercy, and peace;
Kwanza's unity, equality, and freedom;
Unite with the Spirit of Christmas
To Celebrate.......
LIFE!

Carol Trube, Warren, OH

May you wake each day with God's blessings
and sleep each night in His keeping.
And as you grow older,
may you always walk in His tender care.

Signe Fluegel, White Bear Lake, MN

This season I challenge you to;
Look beyond what you see,
Laugh,
Give just to make someone's day,
Love,
Enjoy the sounds of the seaon,
Breathe,
This year challenge yourself to do something to really take in all life has to offer. That is the reason for the season

Heather Schwartz, Minneapolis, MN
