Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!

Hear the sledges with the bells- Silver bells! What a world of merriment their melody foretells! How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle,
In the icy air of night! While the stars that oversprinkle
All the heavens, seem to twinkle
With a crystalline delight;

Lines of the Poem ,The Bells´ by Edgar Ellen Poe

To all our readers of visionsblog.info a very Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!
