One of Cara's and my favorite Christmas movies is The Muppet Christmas Carol. Every year we plan which night we'll watch it and look forward to it for days. Cara calls it a real feel-good Christmas movie. In the movie, there is a scene where Tiny Tim sings a Christmas blessing to his family called "Bless Us All". The words are beautiful. Here they are:
Bless Us All
(Words by Paul Williams)
Life is full of sweet surprises, every day's a gift
The sun comes up and I can feel it lift my spirit
It fills me up with laughter, it fills me up with song
I look into the eyes of love and know that I belong
Bless us all, who gather here
The loving family I hold dear
No place on Earth, compares with home
And every path will bring me back from where I roam
Bless us all, that as we live
We always comfort and forgive
We have so much that we can share
With those in need we see around us everywhere
Let us always love each other
Lead us toward the light
Let us hear the voice of reason
Singing in the night
Let us run from anger
And catch us when we fall
Teach us in our dreams and please, yes, please
Bless us one and all
Bless us all with playful years
With noisy games and joyous tears
We reach for you, and we stand tall
And in our prayers and dreams we ask you bless us all
We reach for you, and we stand tall
And in our prayers and dreams we ask you bless us all
