The "Aftsr Christmas" Spirit
The joyous Yule-tide is over
The mistletoe faded and dry.
We take down the glittering tinsel,
From the tree, with a faint little
sigh.
We pack up the glittering baubles
So symbolic of love and Of cheer,
And lay them away in the attic.
Eext year.
We take up the thread of our duties,
And it seems that away in our heart.
We have packed up our love like the
tinsel,
That has played so important part.
In a sort of mysterious way;
To be taken out only at Christmas.
And not to be used every day.
Our glow Of good faith toward our
Our love to the people we see,
Seems to us as much of the Yule-tide,
AS the stockings, the feast, and the
tree.
And unconsciously after the season
The glow that illumined our heart,
We forget, with the baubles and tinsel.
And go back to our every day part.
But this eve of the old years de-
parture.
When we welcome the new year
Let US blend with our joyous greeting
A resolve that We'll start it Alright
resolve that wherever we travel
Or what Fate may call US to do;
That we cherish the seasons gay
spirit,
With love that will last the year
