• • This Christmas, we would like to put up a tree in our hearts and instead of hanging presents, we would like to put the names of all our friends. Close friends and not so close friends. The old friends, the new friends. Those that we see every day and the ones that we rarely see. The ones that we always remember and the ones that we sometimes forget. The ones that are always there and the ones that seldom are. The friends of the difficult times and the ones of happy times. Friends who, without meaning to, we have hurt, or without meaning to have hurt us. Those that we know well and those we only know by name. All those that owe us little and those that we owe so much. All our humble friends and our important friends. The names of all those that have passed through our lives no matter how fleetingly. A tree with very deep roots and very long and strong branches so that their names may never be plucked from our hearts. So that new names from all over may join the existing ones. A tree with a very pleasant shade so that our friendship may take a moment of rest from the battles of life. “May the happy moments of Xmas brighten every day of the New Year.” These are our sincere wishes. • •
