(Photo by Gibb) Kilbarchan Notes A specially decorated tree at the nursing home BY IVIABEL TURNBULL In my pre -Christmas reading 1 found this poem which is worthy of repeating: It was written by a local lady Miss Elizabeth H. Taylor formerly of Wilson St. Seaforth now of Ritz Villa. Mitchell. "The Roads that 'lead to Christmas" The roads that lead to Christmas are white with falling snow. and fragrant with pine and cedar and bright with candle glow. the shining red .4 the holly and . the mistletoe hanging high. and the rush and the trample of many feet, As the eager throng go by Oh. the roads that lead to Christmas go where the doors stand wide. and arms are stretched to welcome you, home to your own fireside No matter how far vou wander. nor the ties that bid you stay. The lights of Christmas call vou back though half a v.orld away The roads that lead to Christmas. They devious are and long. But warm with the hand i4 friendship And sweet with laughter and song And memory•s hells are Chiming. Oh days we used to know. And it all leads hack to a Manger bed. To a stable dim and low. Where was cradled the King of all the Earth Such centuries ago " A favourite quotation ,4 mine: After a heavy snowfall 'We look out in the morning 4-10fido8Gmetingi. Ever green with glad ness, deep in quiet contentment — that's Christmas! let these n, good things be yours and see 'God's Christmas card in our own back yard.'
