these words are magical. they make the reader want to play with the polar bears. birte so captured the essence of tradition lost to grownups with the innosense of a grandmas love that it was very easy for me to continue with the flow of the feeling. it took me about 1/2 hour to come up with the melody. just hearing birte laugh with joy as she heard my rendition brought the song full circle. yes, this is christmas time . it is time to feel good.

THANK YOU birte, for putting the wonder and sparkle of Christmas back in this heart.
