"Christmas Holidays" by Elizabeth Bertram

VINTAGE VERSE: "Christmas Holidays" by Elizabeth Bertram from the IDEALS Christmas Magazine 1967 The airmails streak across the sky And trains puff on their tracks, All loaded down with Christmas gifts... A million Santa's packs. The postman with his bulging bag Goes tramping down the street To bring the gifts and friendly cards That make our day complete. The telegraph clicks busily And yellow sheets appear With messages of great good will From distant ones held dear. And over many a telephone Loved voices, calling home, Span mountains, plains and deserts And far-off ocean foam. The airwaves pulse with happiness, Carolers sing their lays, Church altars glow with holy light As a nation humbly prays. So riding on this surging flood My wish speeds on its way... May troubles fade, and in your house Dwell Christmas every day. ~*~Kaleb's MamaMimi~*~
