Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

 

The gift itself is not so much—
Perhaps you've had a dozen such;
Its value, when reduced to gold,
May seem too trifling to be told;
But someone, loving, kind, and true,
Selected it—and thought of You.
The gift may have a hollow ring—
The love behind it is the thing!
Walt Mason (1862–1939), "Christmas Gift"

The vintage ornaments are lovely, Kathleen, as are the sentiments expressed in the poem, thank you.
