An ode to joy? Yes, you can find one today

DEAR EDITOR:

Tis Christmas time, so please be jolly, With twinkle bells and hanging holly. Where we’d like to kiss each one of you, But we’re hunkered down inside our shoe.

We’ve shut the gates and locked the doors, Hold off the COVID, avoid the horrors. No fancy travel, just boring stuff,

The social distance is rather tough.

We’ll make it through, for that we pray, We’ll meet again on that sunny day. We won’t need holly to give us urge; To give you the hugs that you deserve.

So hunker down and hold on tight, We closing down on all the fright.

Just think how great next year will be, When we hug our friends beneath the Christmas tree.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Murray and Nicole Allen, Kelowna
