Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house, Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse…

Please enjoy a Christmas poem from Brian & FASS ( Finance & Support Services) dedicated to our staff and youth.

It’s not the night before Christmas and anyway according to CSS(Community Support Services) creatures have been stirring!
 

It is best sung to “Chestnuts roasting on an open fire"

 

Shelter’s boasting that no beds are free Drop-in’s so full it overflows Worldwide youth will arrive at ROP And Outreach head out like Eskimos. 

Everybody knows that Program and the rest of you Help to make the season bright Lots of youth who have nowhere to go Will find it safe to sleep tonight. 

They know that Krista’s had her way She said that boys and girls will not be turned away And every mother’s child is going to find At CHV we really can be very kind.  

And so I’m offering this simple phrase To youth sixteen to twenty four Although it’s been said many times, many ways A Merry Christmas once more

With apologies to Nat King Cole, Kenny G and any other famous artists recording of this song. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all, from your friends in FASS. Brian.
