It is being woven upon a loom of religious beliefs centuries old and upon hopes symbolized in the birth of a Babe. Into this fabric of Good Will, the Weavers are working mellow threads for family cusâ€" tom, sprightly colours for chilâ€" dren‘s delight, the blue of the Chfistmas star, the magic of winter‘s snow, the tinkle of belfs, the joyous voices of carolers." May the peace and joy of this glorious season bring cheer ana comfort to you &nd yours.
