Christmas blessing

Merry Christmas, our little ones.
Although you are far away, we are holding you close in our hearts on this very special day.
Today we remember that our Savior was born, and how the Angels did sing.
We hope someday soon You are with us, while we celebrate the birth of The King.
Our love we send and blessings we pray.
May Our Lord be watching over you and keeping you safe today.

Love,
Mom, Dad, and Caleb
