HAPPY HOLIDAYS


I’ve known Santa all my life,
With photographs to prove it,
It’s not cliche,
For me to say,
That I’m a Santaholic.

But o’er the years Peace & Joy,
Were hijacked and employed,
Commercialized,
Homogenized,
‘Til all magic was destroyed.

This year we need a miracle,
More than stockings or a tree,
But to succeed,
It’s clear we need,
More ‘Wise Men’ than just three.

Jesus welcomed immigrants,
Fed and clothed the poor,
He wanted us
To love and trust,
And never lock our door.

Let’s try and make this Christmas,
Less angry and more fun,
So we can say,
On Christmas Day,
God bless us everyone.

I decided to take away that nasty poem that got so many of you in a tizzy.

I've seen the light: we must always protect pedophiles if they are rich enough and well connected.

You may unclutch your pearls.

JUST ANOTHER DAY

Just another day in paradise,
Just another day to pay the price,

Just another day so unaware,
Just another day for thoughts and prayers,

Just another day for hysteria,
Just another day in America.

FLORIDA CHRISTMAS

It's Christmas time in Florida and Santa's coming soon,
To land his sleigh among the palms that sway between the dunes.

He tweets with all this Facebook friends #OldStNick,
And merged His List with Google Maps because he must be quick.

His red fur coat is toasty warm,
The frozen Pole is bleak,
Down south he dons Bermuda shorts,
And a festive shirt tres chic.

While children dream of new iPhones this still and silent night,
Santa's magic reindeer fly at twice the speed of light.

But wherever Santa finds you,
Under palms or drifts of white,
Have a very Merry Christmas,
May the New Year bring delight!

CHRISTMAS CHEER

Santa comes round every year the last week in December,
And we have been the best of friends for as I long as I remember.
When I tell folks I still believe they question my intelligence,
But I have all the proof I need: photographic evidence!

The picture’s faded just a bit and I look a little shy,
But I’m sitting there with my best pal and I’m very nearly 5!
Grownups pooh-poohs old St. Nick as supernatural fantasy,
And yet he fills the world each year with love and generosity.

When I was young he brought me toys, a train, and model cars,
A Davy Crockett Coonskin cap, books, and a guitar.
These days I want for nothing so when Santa comes this year,
He’ll bring the only gift I need: priceless Christmas cheer!

WHEN WE CELEBRATE THANKSGIVING!

Over the river and through the woods,
Arriving on time the way we should,
Proper etiquette is understood,
When we celebrate Thanksgiving!

We get together once a year,
For football games and drinking beer,
Two traditions we hold dear,
When we celebrate Thanksgiving!

We gather friends and famIly around,
A glorious feast meant to astound,
For joy and laughter doth abound,
When we celebrate Thanksgiving!

So always remember and never forget,
The love you give is the love you get,
So give your Thanks without regret,
When we celebrate Thanksgiving!

GO BILLS!

60 years ago the Buffalo Bills won their first AFL Championship in a game played at the Old Rockpile right after Christmas. The Bills are overdue to win another! (Also, we were starting our senior year 60 years ago!)

So here's to the ones we still hold dear, and another for those no longer here.
