Warmest thoughts and cozy wishes going out to one and all.    I wish you an extra gentle Christmas with moments of sweetness, peace, and a bit of unexpected sparkle.

Enclosed is my favorite winter verse written by Shel Silverstein that I throw out there each winter because it always me smile and the kids love it . . . hope you catch a smile too . . .

"I made myself a snowball

as perfect as couold be,

I thought I'd keep it as a pet

and let it sleep with me;

I made it some pajamas

and a pillow for its head,

then last night it ran away,

but first it wet the bed!"

You are all awesome and it is a special gift for me to be in your company,

Jo C, thank for starting our Christmas thread this year! I told this to my GD last year and will tell her again this year! Merry Christmas and many blessings to you and your family!

It's the most wonderful time of the year!

llee, you always sparkle and give me a smile . . . . . may you have a wonderful Christmas and thanks for putting up with my tired verse that I haul out each year; it's the kid in me. 

 Not an easy time of the year for many, but the warmth and peace is so deeply wished for all.

Happy Holidays

I had a nice long chat with my brother this morning.  Jo, I'm going to send him this poem so he can have a chuckle.  Thanks for the beautiful postcards, Ilee!
