News Flash: Judith Rycar is the winner of Maddie Day’s Murder at the Taffy Shop! Congratulations, Judith, and please check your email.

Liz here, with a really special post today. Our good friend, John Valeri, has a lovely tradition of writing beautiful Christmas poems every year to send to friends. This year, I asked him to share his poem with all of you. He told me he’d written this one as a song – maybe we’ll get him to record it for us! Enjoy.

My Christmas Wish for You
John B. Valeri (2020)

It’s that time of year again

I think of family and friends

Whether near or far

You’re always in my heart

I wish that I could see you now

But circumstances won’t allow

Yet if I look within my mind

I know I’ll always find

That memories live on always

Whether past or present days
