A Note from Caroline

John and I have so enjoyed scrolling through all your Karounos family pictures…you guys have a great thing going there! Once I hook my camera back up to our laptop (help Peter!) and start downloading our pictures again I’ll send one. Merry Christmas to all of you and keep us on your distribution list. Its fun to hear how everyone is doing.


Love, Caroline & John

Christmas

Christmas comes this time of year
Homes are abundant with laughter and cheer
Parties, presents, lights on the tree
Families filled with happiness and glee
It’s the season of giving, that’s what they say
Children anticipating that one special day
Candy canes, nutcrackers, stockings to fill
Grab your sled, call your friends, meet at the hill
Curl up by a nice cozy fire
Christmas carols ring out in the night from the choir
Putting all the ornaments on the Christmas tree
There is no place like home, that’s a guarantee
The city covered with a thin blanket of snow
Good memories and togetherness is what we’ll bestow
While giving is the spirit of the season
Why don’t we do it with a sense of reason
Give some clothes, spare change, make a donation
Give to the less fortunate, weeping of desperation
Enough with the chit-chat, the message is clear
Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
