I AM thinking of you to-day because it is Christmas
and I wish you Happiness. And tomorrow because
it will be the day after Christmas, I shall still wish
you Happiness ; and so on clear through the year.
I may not be able to tell you about it every day,
but that makes no difference ; the thought and the
wish will be here just the same. Whenever Joy or
Success comes to you it will make me Glad And this
is my Christmas wish for you.
Henry Van Dyke.
