Merry
Christmas
To You —
Four little words — spoken
a million times by genera
tion after generation over
unhurried centuries — are
as strong, as vivid, as
friendly today as they were when first spoken. Use has not
dulled the lustre of their cloaks. Repetition has not lessened
their brightness or cheerfulness. A hundred years from
now they will express the same love, humility, reverence,
gratitude as they do today.
They will never grow old or tarnished — these four
little words, “Merry Christmas to You" — as long as there
is decency on the earth. Their strength will not fade as
long as the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, whose birth
inspired them, live in the hearts of men of peace and good
will. Familiarity has added warmth to their meaning as
men have come more and more to realize that His lessons
and life are salvation in a world of darkness, that His
shining light, burning more brightly today than ever before,
is a safe, kindly beacon to guide one through the dark seas
of trouble and distress.
Our salutation, then, is spoken in four eloquent little
words wishing you and yours the blessings of the Season,
joy, happiness, contentment, cherished friends, good neigh
bors, a cheery fireside, a home reflecting the love, peace,
humility He taught so long ago —
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU.
