Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Joseph and Mary (The Cherry Tree)
Granny's Old Christmas song was always, "Brightest and Best," sung and hummed in her creaky old voice as she sat with chair pulled in close to the hearthfire and waited for midnight on January 5. Our huge Yule log kept the fire going almost a week, night and day. Strange, how one's GOOD memories keep as a picture in the mind, and always tinged with a golden glow.
