Okay. I'm finally ready to send out my...uh, er, Christmas(?) cards...?

Anyway, these are the words I'm considering and I'd like other suggestions and/or input. I've decided to go with the Santa hats picture with the tree -- seems like everyone agrees on that one!

So, my favorite idea is:

Love and joy come to you...
And God bless you, and send you
A Happy New Year...

My only real concern here is that this is from the Wassailing Song which could be seen as a drinking song. It has also become synonymous with Christmas caroling, but...oh bother!


Also considering:

...behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. Luke 2:10


For a strange twist of humor:

Yea, brother, let me have JOY of thee in the Lord...
Philemon 1:20

(Not seriously considering the above, but got a giggle out of it...)


I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth. 3 John 1:4


Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. Luke 2:14 or John 14:27

EDITED TO ADD: OOPS!!! Used that with the Christmas card from 2006. That will never work!!


Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope...Romans 15:13


Any other ideas?

Traditionally, our Christmas cards have included a scripture as the verse for the photo. But, I really like the first idea as it brings in the new year theme and kind of off-sets the fact that this is going out so late...
