You've heard the tales of Christmas lore, of Frostys' old silk hat, of magic that it must have stored for him to dance like that. You've heard of Rudolfs' shiny nose that guided Santas' sleigh, these stories everybody knows, mean soon comes Christmas day. You know about the Drummer Boy who had no gifts to bring, who played "Pa rum, pa rum, pa pum" before the new born king. In songs are many stories told, all with a common theme, to make the world a better place, we share the Christmas dream. Of peace on Earth, goodwill towards men, their message echoes clear. The voices of a heavenly choir of angels drawing near. Rejoice and let your hearts embrace the message they contain, they speak of a nobility all good men would attain. This is our one true heritage tradition keeps alive, though cynics may disparage this, dismissing them as "jive". To hear the truths such thoughts express for me never grows old, perhaps, before I'm laid to rest, I'll add one to be told... some sentimental rambling 'bout the good things man can do, until then Merry Christmas, one and all, to each of you.

Excellent thoughts friend. As the saying goes, too bad it cannot be Christmas all through the year. Goodwill towards man, would be a beautiful thing each and every day. May you and yours have a beautiful Holiday season. Thanks for sharing.  |

   (big hugggsssssss) Who said that Christmas can't be every day of the year? I truly believe that cynics and skeptics are really what's wrong in the world, so let's ignore them and give and share to our loved ones and the world each and every day, as my name Mistletoe Angel suggests! (smiles) Happy holidays, dearest friend, God Bless You, and have yourself a merry Christmas too, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet William, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "You'll find something that's enough to keep you |

Munda, My good friend, thank you so much for allowing me to be the errant creature that I am, while still acknowledging that I exist. Were it within my power I would grant to you everlasting joy. Doc Enchantress, Thanks, and a very merry to you. Doc |
