Bristish poet, Christina Rossetti, wrote the devotional verses, "Love came down at Christmas."

Love came down at Christmas,
Love all lovely, love divine;
Love was born at Christmas,
Star and angels gave the sign.

Worship we the Godhead,
Love incarnate, love divine;
Worship we our Jesus ~
What shall be our sacred sign?

Love shall be our token,
Love be yours and love be mine;
Love to God and neighbor,
Love for prayer and gift and sign.

~ Christina Rossetti (b. Dec. 5, 1830.  d. Dec. 29, 1894) British poet.  Also wrote "In the Bleak Midwinter."  Both poems were eventually set to music as Christmas carols.

A Very Merry Christmas ~ a safe and happy holiday.  The bookshop will be closed between Christmas and New Year's.
