I never dreamed I would find inspiration from Muppets lyrics (I mean, seriously!), but the children sang this as a finale at their Christmas program this week and I thought it was a fitting Christmas wish.
Bless Us One and All from A Muppet Christmas Carol
Life is full of sweet surprises, every day's a gift
The sun comes up and I can feel it lift my spirit
It fills me up with laughter, it fills me up with song
I look into the eyes of love and know that I belong
Bless us all, who gather here
The loving family I hold dear
No place on Earth, compares with home
And every path will bring me back from where I roam
Bless us all, that as we live
We always comfort and forgive
We have so much that we can share
With those in need we see around us everywhere
Let us always love each other
Lead us toward the light
Let us hear the voice of reason
Singing in the night
Let us run from anger
And catch us when we fall
Teach us in our dreams and please, yes, please
Bless us one and all
Bless us all with playful years
With noisy games and joyous tears
We reach for You, and we stand tall
And in our prayers and dreams we ask You bless us all.
Amen.
P.S. Here's the Youtube video if you think your kids (or you :-) might enjoy it.

Oh my goodness! The Muppet Christmas Carol soundtrack is one of my favorites. There are several songs on the CD there that have very meaningful lyrics. One that's ringing in my head right now (sorry, can't remember the title) is "It is the season of the Spirit, the message if you hear it, is make it last all year!"
You gotta get the soundtrack. It's great.
