I also posted Monday at the Insecure Writer’s Support Group site - How to Stay in Writing Mode During the Holidays.
I wanted to share the lyrics to a beautiful song called Bless Us All from my favorite Christmas movie, The Muppet Christmas Carol. We watch the movie every Christmas Eve and every year, we end up crying over fuzzy felt.
Life is full of sweet surprises
Everyday's a gift
The sun comes up and I can feel it lift my spirit
Fills me up with laughter, fills me up with song
I look into the eyes of love and know that I belong
Bless us all, who gather here
The loving family I hold dear
No place on earth, compares with home
And every path will bring me back from where I roam
Bless us all, that as we live
We always comfort and forgive
We have so much, that we can share
With those in need we see around us everywhere
Let us always love each other
Lead us to the light
Let us hear the voice of reason, singing in the night
Let us run from anger and catch us when we fall
Teach us in our dreams and please, yes please
Bless us one and all
Bless us all with playful years
With noisy games and joyful tears
We reach for You and we stand tall
And in our prayers and dreams
We ask You bless us all
We reach for You and we stand tall
And in our prayers and dreams we ask You
Bless us all
Merry Christmas!

"We have so much, that we can share
With those in need we see around us everywhere"

(My wife and I normally watch LOVE ACTUALLY every Christmas - when the kids are asleep!! - and this year one of my gifts to the missus was a Banoffee Pie - and it turned out OK !!!

Susanne, my husband liked that one, too.

Beautiful lyrics.
God bless you in 2014. :-)
Thank you for this. i LOVE the Muppets and although I've never seen this Christmas special or heard this song before, my son and I listened to the first Muppet Movie soundtrack over and over again for years. The Rainbow song comes back to me even now. This was a lovely and perfect message for the holiday. Thank you and blessings.
God bless us, every one! I'm a big fan of the Muppets, and that's one of their best movies.
Elizabeth, you need to watch this one - it's even better and so is the music.
Milo, it's their best movie!
Those are beautiful lyrics. Hope you had a nice Christmas. Happy New Year!
Yes! Bless us all! Best of the holidays to you!
That's so nice! Hope you had a lovely Christmas!
Of course we had to watch this movie as a family. We all loved it, and it never gets old.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you!
What a beautiful sentiment told in a song of the season.
Best wishes for the New Year.

Tossing It Out
May your prayer be answered. Happy New Year, Diane.
Happy Between the Holidays! Hope you had a great Christmas and wishes for a wonderful 2014.
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas, Diane.
I stayed in full writing mode the entire season. Managed to make my deadline each month on several projects which almost broke me - but what doesn't break you makes you stronger, right? Haha!
