Re. Yule for You a package came for me today which put me in great awe and just beneath it, another, which nearly broke my jaw for I’ve not put pen to paper for a single Christmas card and I’ve not gone a-shopping with cash or credit card a few trinkets have found their way to a tiny bit of Yule display but many more reside in tins and other types of storage bins the lights for in an out are still wrapped around their cards and leaves are scattered everywhere on porch and in the yard the dust is absent from some microscopic places and closets and rooms still harbor Christmas laces but today the sun is shining and the sky’s a radiant blue and I just can’t get concerned enough to follow suit for blue of sky is something grand and blue of me dismay and though I’m behind a hundred-fold there’s much of me that’s gay for decking the halls will find its way, I’m sure, and knowing others have thought of me brings a peace that’s sweet dujour so please don’t be alarmed if you’ve not heard my love for you and Christmas wishes of the sweetest kind some day I will get through Epiphany is coming, beyond the Yule deadline so your Christmas time will be extended just like this little rhyme my wishes will not be lessened in my heart nor in my mind so I hope you understand this snail’s pace and not think me too unkind ©December 13, 2002 Whether on the shoal or on the shore, I'll seek the lighthouse evermore. Whether on the shoal or on the shore, I'll seek the lighthouse evermore. WOW! I just ran across last year's Christmas letter. I wrote it Christmas Eve morning! If I get something done this week, I'll be ahead of last year's record! There's hope for me yet! [This message has been edited by VAS (12-16-2002 10:55 AM).] |

Virginia, I enjoyed this. I have been so in 'scrooge mode', I can't believe it. However, I too, know it'll work out, and get done. Happy Holidays, warm regards, Pat  ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |

it is looking up for me, I finally, with help, have decided which poem to include in my Christmas greeting...so maybe now I can get on them! I have a tree in my living room waiting for adornment, too. Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

Oh Grief! You're one of those people that are at WalMart at 6pm on Christams Eve, aren't you? *I work security at WalMart and it never fails...we close at 6pm on the 24th...and can't get everyone out of the store till 8pm* |
