New Delhi:
Dew drops are bubbling. Joybells are ringing. ​​Candles are gleaming​. ​Gladness is streaming out over all the earth... It's happy Christmas season. The cold December wind is blowing.

Pretty and fragile, the freezing dew drops sparkle in millions in the chilly December morning. They bubble ​on the green ​with beautiful dreams of mystical rainbow hues... The dreams are crystal clear. They are dreams of new mercies and happier days ahead. But to have them, you must let go of the old spring thoughts and walk the old dirt road no more.
