AFCO PREFINISHED WALL PANELS
Is it the tree or those who light the lights?
Is it the package or the one who ties it bright?
Is it the music or those who sing the words?
Is it the turkey or those who cook the birds?
The mistletoe or whom you kiss beneath it?
The merry window or the folks who wreathe it?
The Santa Suit or is it the one who wears it?
It is the Day—or is it the one who shares it?
All Christmas things are wonderful«, it’s true —
But the NICEST THING of all is you.
MERRY CHRISTMAS
TO YOU, FROM US
