The following poem by Marie Melvin Surprise was found on a Surprise Family CD-Rom created by Janet Umlauf:
    Each Christmas Day

    Throughout the year there is no day
    Nor time that means so much
    As Christmas and the Holidays
    For then each heart is touched.
    With wickedness forgotten
    The world begins to sing
    The carols so dear of yesteryear
    To which fond memories cling.

    No other time in all the year
    Does joy descend on earth
    And hide the pain while gladness reigns
    To hail the Christ Child's birth.
    No other time is the world so free
    Of hate and greed nor is humanity
    So prevalent. So let us pray
    It will be thus each Christmas Day.
