Heart of the Home

Mother Is the heart of the Home and the Home is the Heart of Christmas

Memories to treasure are made of Christmas Day,

Made of family gatherings and children as they play…

And always it is MOTHER who plays the leading part

In bringing joy and happiness to each expectant heart…

These memories grow more meaningful with every passing year,

More precious and more beautiful, more treasured and more dear…

And that is why at Christmastime there comes the happy thought

Of all these treasure memories that Mother’s love has brought…

For no one gives more happiness or does more good for others

Than understanding.  Kind and wise and selfless, loving Mothers…

And of all the loving Mothers, the dearest one is YOU,

For you live Christmas EVERY DAY in EVERY THING YOU DO!
