Madness overtakes us each year Earthbound children dream of Santa Riding across the starry night Right to their house, a present Yielding, Rudolph-guided sleigh. Calorie-rich cookies and cakes Harbinger of hurtful tummies Radiant, expectant children's faces Imaginative, unspoiled by truth that Santa really is dear Uncle Fred Tanked on too much spiked eggnog and Merry songs and mountains of food And watching Tiny Tim one more time Santa is a wonderful apparition. To all eager children the world Over Santa sends his love to you. All is calm, all is at peace Loving mom, excited children Learns dad is home from the war. . . . and the raven said, )!(%!~@~#&$ . . . |

So wonderful and I agree with our Sunshine - though that spiced eggnog got my attention too. Merry Christmas, Jerry. Alison |
