| The holidays are almost here; that magical time of year when families and friends gather together in joyous celebration. It's a time for bonding and reminiscing, drinking egg nog and exchanging gifts before a sparkling Christmas tree. Most of all, it's a time for loving. So when the sounds of Christmas Carols permeate the crisp, night air, it's hard to imagine that for many, it's the saddest time of year. It is for me, because, with the exception of my son, Ray, my entire family, along with my fiance and some of my friends, are spending Christmas in Heaven. So I've decided to construct this special holiday page to let them know how much I love and miss them. I have chosen Mariah Carey's "Miss You Most At Christmas Time" because the words express my exact sentiments. The melody plays softly in the background, and the words are printed below. |

| The fire is burning, The room's all aglow, Outside the December wind blows Away in the distance the carolers Sing in the snow. Everybody's laughing, The world is celebrating, And everyone's so happy Except for me tonight Because I miss you Most at Christmas time And I can't get you Get you off my mind Every other season comes along And I'm all right But then I miss you Most at Christmas time. I gaze out the window This cold winters' night At all of the twinkling lights Alone in the darkness Remembering when you were mine Everybody's smiling The whole world is rejoicing And everyone's embracing Except for you and I Baby I miss you Most at Christmas time And I can't get you Get you off my mind Every other season comes along And I'm all right But then I miss you Most at Christmas time. In the springtime those memories Start to fade With the April rain Through the summer days Till Autumn's leaves are gone I get by without you Till the snow begins to fall And then I miss you Most at Christmas time And I can't get you Get you off my mind Every other season comes along And I'm all right But then I miss you Most at Christmas time. |
