> Greetings to you all!  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
>    Here is a blessing I want to share.  You may have heard it already.  It’s a song sent by a NCCB member which is sung to the tune of partridge in a pear tree.  At the end of the 12 days is a brief explanation of its history.  Please enjoy with family and friends!  The key is the 5th day “joy for my soul” goes with 5 golden rings.  This will keep you grounded throughout the song.  Linda maybe it can be sent to our members.
