I’d walk a thousand miles to be with you tonight. Missing you – g’night.

Its big,
It’s warm,
It’s fuzzy.
Before you get ideas – it’s a big g’night HUG from me to you!

When the night breeze blows my hair, I imagine they’re your kisses
I can stand missing you this much.

Begin the day with a light heart.
Let all your worries be swept aside at night.
Smile a moment and thank God, for every moment He cares for you all the way.

At this moment 3.7 Millions are sleeping,
2.3 Millions are falling in Love,
4.1 Million are eating and
only one cute person in the whole world is reading my message….
Good Night!!!


You are the light of my world,
The music in my heart and
The first and last thought of my day.
Have a Good Night, My Dear.

I wish I was the sheet on your bed – that way I could feel you on me. Missing you so much this night.

Nobody's right till somebody’s wrong.
Nobody's weak till somebody’s strong.
Nobody's lucky till love comes along.
Nobody's lonely till somebody’s gone.
I love and miss you tonight!

I think of you as soon as I wake up and then again before I fall asleep. You see, you’re never out of my thoughts. Have a Good Night!

Tired of messages like,
Good Night
Missing You
Love You
and so on?
Now here's a new one - Can U smile 4 me once?

I may not get to see you as often as I like,
I may not get to hold you all through the night.
But deep in my heart this much I know,
You’re the one for me and I’ll never let you go. Good Night my sweet!

Whenever you have a dream inside your heart,
Never let it go coz dreams are the tiny seeds,
From which a beautiful tomorrow grows
Have a wonderful dream tonight. Good night.

I went to bed tonight but felt that something was missing. So I got up from my bed, grabbed my cell phone and sent you a greeting. Good Night!

The thought of being with you tomorrow is what helps me to go through today. Good Night my love.

Do you know how wonderful it feels to go to bed each day and know
That you are mine and I am yours? – Have a restful night, my love.

I wish that you were here or that I was there.
I wish that we were together anywhere. Good Night till we meet again.

The candles cannot burn without the light. The moon cannot shine without the night, then how can I sleep without wishing u good night!

We never get, what we want. We never want what we get. We never have, what we like. We never like, what we have.
Still we live,
still we love ,
still we hope.
Good night!

Sending a pillow of happy thoughts to create wonderful dreams, a blanket of care to keep you blessed in life and a prayer to protect you always. Good night!

Somewhere out there beneath the pale moonlight,
Someone is thinking of you tonight,
Somewhere out there where dreams come true...
Goodnight & sweet dreams 2 you!

A day is going to end again. It is nice to have someone like U making everyday seems so great. Thank U my love and may all the angels guard you this night!

Welcome aboard to "Sweet Dreams" airline,
All passengers on bed, please hug your pillows
As the flight will be leaving soon to Dreamland.
Hope you will enjoy your flight.
Pleasant Dreams and Good Night!

My day won't certainly be over for I have something left to do. I just couldn't sleep yet without saying I love you. Good Night and Sweet Dreams.

When my arms can’t reach people
who are close to my heart,
I always hug them with my prayers. Good Night.

Stars light Stars bright you are the only Star I see tonight.
I wish I may, I wish I might be there guarding your dreams tonight.
Good night and sleep well.
Let the most beautiful
dream come to you tonight,
Let the sweetest person
come in your dream tonight….
But don’t make it a habit
because I am not free every night.
Goodnight

I wish you have
No day is so bad it can't be fixed with a nap.
So leave your worries on the floor and get into bed. Good Night, my love.
Every day I love you more than yesterday. Sweet dreams.

My schedule may be tight.
But I would never let the day end
without saying Good night and. Sweet dreams!

Good night


Last night I dreamed, you my baby,
the day I drooled not withstand that first kiss,
for me it was love at first sight, feeling thirsty.
It was an endless moment, no time to dream, and then wake up,
and we continue to enjoy an unfinished love.


Forget about all the bad things that happened today
Remember all the nice ones
Forget all the nasty stuff people had to say
Just think of all the fun
Remember the times when you did a good deed
Forget all the wrongs and rights
Tuck yourself for a long night's sleep
Just bidding you a sweet good night


Goodnight, my love,
though miles away,
your voice is all that I need
To lull me to sleep
and to know that I'm loved
and that I am yours now to keep.


In the softest night
Free winter rises
Maiden blossoms sincere
Weary blossoms adhere
Winter grass is near
Naked tenderness is here
With tired kisses in the air
Goodnight springtime with care

Merry Christmas poems



What Do We Love About Christmas?

What do we love about Christmas;
Does our delight reside in things?
Or are the feelings in our hearts
The real gift that Christmas brings.

It's seeing those we love,
And sending Christmas cards, too,
Appreciating people who bring us joy
Special people just like you.


The Joy of Giving

Somehow, not only for Christmas,
But all the long year through,
The joy that you give to others
Is the joy that comes back to you;
And the more you spend in blessing
The poor and lonely and sad,
The more of your heart’s possessing
Returns to make you glad.


The Nicest Present

Under the tree the gifts enthrall,
But the nicest present of them all
Is filling our thoughts with those who care,
Wanting our Christmas joy to share.
To you, whom we're often thinking of,
We send our holiday joy and love.

Christmas

Every time a hand reaches out
To help another....that is Christmas
Every time someone puts anger aside
And strives for understanding
That is Christmas
Every time people forget their differences
And realize their love for each other
That is Christmas
May this Christmas bring us
Closer to the spirit of human understanding
Closer to the blessing of peace!



Christmas Joys

Evergreen boughs that fill our homes
With fragrant Christmas scents,
Hearts filled with the loving glow
That Christmas represents;
Christmas cookies, turkeys stuffed,
Festive holly berry,
Little faces bright with joy,
Loved ones being merry;
Parties, songs, beribboned gifts,
Silver bells that tinkle,
Christmas trees and ornaments,
Colorful lights that twinkle;
Relatives waiting with open arms
To smile and hug and kiss us;
These are some of the special joys
That come along with Christmas.


Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to friends!
Merry Christmas to foes!
The world’s bright with joy, so
Forget all your woes.
The earth’s full of beauty, of
Love and good cheer.
Merry Christmas to all and a
Happy New Year!


Christmas Fulfillment

This Christmas,
may you have the fulfillment
of seeing around you
the people you love the most.
May you have the satisfaction
of creating special memories
they will remember with pleasure forever.
This Christmas,
may you feel peaceful and contented,
knowing what Christmas means,
and celebrating it your way.



Recipe for Christmas All Year Long
Take a heap of child-like wonder
That opens up our eyes
To the unexpected gifts in life—
Each day a sweet surprise.

Mix in fond appreciation
For the people whom we know;
Like festive Christmas candles,
Each one has a special glow.

Add some giggles and some laughter,
A dash of Christmas food,
(Amazing how a piece of pie
Improves our attitude!)

Stir it all with human kindness;
Wrap it up in love and peace,
Decorate with optimism, and
Our joy will never cease.

If we use this healthy recipe,
We know we will remember
To be in the Christmas spirit,
Even when it's not December.



Christmas at Melrose

We’ll light a log of generous girth
For winter comfort, and the mirth
Of healthy children you shall see
About a sparkling Christmas tree.

Christmas Fun

The tempting gifts are tantalizing;
About opening them, we are fantasizing.
The holiday foods are appetizing;
Our excitement and joy are growing and rising;
Our hearts and minds are harmonizing;
Jolly Christmas fun we're maximizing!



Christmas Magic

Are we too grownup to feel a thrill
As we light the Christmas tree?
Are we immune to cookies,
Christmas cards and Christmas glee?

Are we too adult to "Ooh" and "Aah"
At the Christmas candle's glow?
Are we blasé about our gifts;
Do we shun the mistletoe?

Are we too mature for carols,
For merry or for jolly?
Do the decorations leave us cold,
The ornaments and holly?

Fat chance! We'll never grow too old
To love the Christmas magic.
A year without a Christmas
Would be boring, even tragic.

So bring it on! The candy canes,
The feasting and good cheer;
O Christmas, lovely Christmas,
You're the highlight of the year!



A Merry Christmas Wish for You

While you enjoy the gifts,
food, sparkle of ornaments and lights,
feasting on favorite foods,
I wish this Christmas
would envelop you
in the special warmth
and rich contentment
the season brings.

I wish friends, family,
all those who love you
let you know how much they care,
so that you feel happily wrapped
in their affection.

I wish this Christmas
would be one you never forget,
a shining beacon in your memory
to light all of your days.



A Sunny Christmas

Every year at Christmas time
There's not a sign of snow.
Instead we spend our yuletide days
 In the sun's warm cheery glow.

We have the best of Christmas things,
The lights, the gifts, the bells,
(And "snowbirds" who arrive en masse
 To fill our beach hotels.)

The glorious weather fits right in
With our happy Christmas mood,
And we can also walk and run
Without having to be snowshoed.

So don't feel bad for your (location) friends
Who have no snow or ice.
We think our sunny Christmas here
 Is a holiday paradise!



Year-Round Joy

Christmas is full of shiny things
 That sparkle, gleam and glow;
These holiday pleasures dazzle us,
 And yet, deep down, we know...

That Christmas has its special gifts,
 But our year-round joy depends
On the cherished people in our lives,
 Our family and our friends.



The Christmas Gift of Knowing You

The Christmas season fills our hearts with joy;
 Bright, happy days bring special kinds of pleasure.
 We're wrapped in the excitement of it all,
The sights, the sounds, the smells, the tastes we treasure.

Yet when we have some quiet time to think
About our finest blessings all year through,
 We focus on our family and our friends,
 And appreciate the gift of knowing you!


Christmas Love

At Christmastime I think of all the gifts
 That bring me great delight and sweet surprise,
 But nothing in this world can bring such joy
 As you do, when you look into my eyes.

And when I contemplate what Christmas means,
 The caring and the giving--I confess,
You've given me the things I want the most:
Your love, your touch, your kiss, your warm caress.

The Christmas tree reminds me, with its lights
 That just the thought of you sets me aglow;
 You light me up from deep within my heart,
 Because I cherish you, and love you so.

With you it's Christmas all the time, sweetheart.
 I treasure every hour and every minute.
 Your love is all I'll ever want because,
 My life is so fulfilling with you in it.


The Most Wonderful Gift

The most wonderful gift ever given to me
 Isn't one to be found by a Christmas tree.
 It's you, my treasure, my wonderful wife,
The most beautiful, glorious thing in my life.

You are caring and warm, in truth, a delight,
 A most wonderful prize whose love still shines bright.
 I shudder to think how bare life would be,
If the gift of your love weren't given to me.

You are Christmas delights all wrapped into one,
 And those joys still go on when Christmas is done!



Be My Christmas Gift

If you sat beneath the Christmas tree,
You’d sure add to the décor,
But even if you were gift wrapped, dear,
 I couldn't love you more.

You have to know that if I had you,
I’d have the gift I’d most adore,
 Better than any expensive gift
 I could purchase in a store.

If you hug me tight, you wonderful thing,
And be my Christmas gift,
You’ll brighten my days forevermore
And give my heart a lift.

Christmas Swiss Roll



INGREDIENTS:
125 g (4 oz) caster sugar
75 g (3 oz) flour
3 eggs
30 ml (2 tablespoons) cocoa powder
can of sweetened chestnut paste 440 g (15.5 oz)
icing sugar decoration,
holly sprigs
oil for greasing

INSTRUCTIONS: 
Prepare a Swiss roll cake tin, about 13 x 9 inch, inserting greaseproof paper into the greased tin and then greasing the paper itself. Shake a small amount of caster sugar around the tin, then do the same with some flour, finally shaking out the extra. 

Whisk the eggs and sugar in a bowl placed over steam from water at just at boiling point. Be careful not to over heat the mixture. It should be just thick enough to make strands as you lift the whisk out of the ingredients. 

Take the mixture away from the heat and continue whisking as it cools, (about 5 minutes). Blend in the cocoa powder and flour followed by hot water (1 tablespoon). 

Take the tin from step one and pour in the mixture. Bake at 200°C (400°F) until the cake has come away from the sides of the tin a bit (about 10 minutes). Remove the cake from the tin and place on greaseproof paper, previously coated then shaken with caster sugar. Trim the hard edges off the cake, then bake the rolled up cake (with paper inside) for an additional 20 minutes.

 Melt the chocolate with water (1 tablespoon) in a bowl placed over water just at boiling point. Mix icing sugar into some softened butter and then add the melted chocolate.

 Take the cold Swiss roll, unroll it and add the chestnut paste, spreading over the complete surface. Remove the paper, roll up again and put on a plate.

 Attach a slice of the roll to the side of the log with butter cream. Preferably a diagonal slice. 

Complete the presentation by using a piping bag with star shaped nozzle to run lines of butter cream along the Swiss roll log. Finally, sprinkle with icing sugar and decorate with sprigs of holly.

Creole Christmas Fruitcake

Creole Christmas Fruitcake

INGREDIENTS: FOR THE SIMPLE SYRUP:

2 Cup Sugar
2 Cup Water
1 Strips zest of 2 lemons; (abt 3 tbspns)
Juice of 2 lemons; (abt 1/4 cup)
FOR THE CAKE: 
1 Pound Combination of dried fruits (such as blueberries; cranberries, 
Cherries; raisins, and chopped apricots)
1 Pound Unsalted butter; room temperature
2 Cup Sugar
4 Ounce Almond paste
8 Large Eggs
1 Cup Grand Marnier or other orange-flavored Liqueur
4 Cup Flour
2 Teaspoon Baking powder
1/4 Teaspoon Salt
1/4 Teaspoon Cinnamon
1/8 Teaspoon Fresh grated nutmeg
1 Cup Silvered blanched almonds
1 Cup Pecans pieces
1 Cup Walnut pieces
1/2 Cup Bourbon

INSTRUCTIONS:
Make a simple syrup by combining the sugar and water in a medium-size heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the lemon zest and juice and bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Boil for 2 minutes and remove from the heat.

 Combine the dried fruits together in a large mixing bowl. Pour the simple syrup over them, toss to coat, and let steep for 5 minutes. Strain and reserve the syrup. Cream the butter, sugar, and almond paste together in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle at low speed, occasionally scraping down the sides of the bowl. Beat until the mixture is fluffy and smooth, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing in between each addition on low speed and scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary.

Add 1/2 cup of the Grand Marnier and mix to incorporate. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a medium-size mixing bowl and blend well. Add this mixture 1/2 cup at a time to the butter mixture with the mixer on low speed, each time mixing until smooth, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary. The batter will be thick. Add the warm fruit and all the nuts a little at a time, mixing well. 

Scrape down the sides of the bowl and the paddle. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease twelve 1-pound loaf pans. Spoon about 1 cup of the batter into each pan. Bake until golden and the tops spring back when touched, about 45 minutes (rearranging them after 25 minutes if necessary to brown evenly). Cool for 10 minutes in the pans. Remove cakes from the pans and cool completely on wire racks. Wrap each cake in a layer of cheesecloth. Store in plastic storage bags until they are slightly stale, 3 to 4 days. 

Combine the reserved simple syrup with the remaining 1/2 cup Grand Marnier and the bourbon. Without removing the cheesecloth, make tiny holes with a toothpick randomly on the top of each cake. Pour 2 tablespoons of the syrup over the top of each cake once every 2 to 3 days until all of the syrup is used. Let the cakes age for up to 3 weeks before eating. Yields 12 cakes.
