and cigarettes to enlisted men of
Headquarters at Y.M.C.A. Christmas
night. Dugny, Meuse, France. Dec. 25, 1918.
Christmas is a time to feel a spirit of
joy and peace. It is a time to connect
and feel especially close and thankful
for family. It is a cozy time.

You and Me
By Barbara Bockleman
It's true that Christmas Day
Once a year comes our way,
Celebrated in joy and cheer,
Hearts free and minds clear.So Christmas should be
With love between you and me.For one brief time we all try
To stop the tears of those who cry,
Feed the hunger of those in need,
Heal the wounds of those who bleed.So Christmas should be
With love between you and me.Let's keep the Christmas joy of giving
Shown in each day of our living.
Lift high the Christmas gift of love,
A true thanksgiving to our God above.Then the year ahead will be
Filled with love between you and me.
