I took Christmas down today,
all the lights are stored away.
And the stockings, hung with care
are now boxed and unaware.
The tree that once stood tall
is a memory for us all.
As the magic goes away,
I took Christmas down today.
I'd have liked to leave it up,
put more eggnog in my cup.
Played some carols once again,
Viewed the cards from all my friends.
But that isn't how it is,
Jolly the season to be tis',
Let the feelings drift away,
I took Christmas down today.
There's no promise for next year,
Just ask Max and Dee and Lear,
but awash in all the good,
it's assumed and understood.
Yes the boys confused the tree,
standing inside they did pee,
thinking they were still outdoors,
I forgive them...how 'bout yours?
It's a part of Holiday,
I took Christmas down today.
I wish for a great year,
for my friends and family dear,
that the red and green and white
can last 'till next Christmas night.
The nutcrackers lay in slumber,
Small in size but large in number.
Yes, the angel's put away,
I took Christmas down today.
I wish you all the joy
that this season does employ.
make it last without the lights,
and the colors warm and bright.
In the February grey,
or the hot July I say,
I took Christmas down today,
Let it never go away.

...Bill Cosby
Hello. My blog was handed to me this morning. Thank you Diva Felisha!
From Bill Cosby:
I HAVE DECIDED TO BECOME A WRITE-IN CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT IN THE YEAR 2012.
HERE IS MY PLATFORM:
(1). Any use of the phrase: 'Press 1 for English' is immediately banned. English is the official language; speak it or wait outside of our borders until you can.
(2). We will immediately go into a two year isolationist attitude in order to straighten out the greedy big business posture in this country. America will allow NO imports, and we'll do no exports. We will use the 'Wal-Mart 's policy, 'If we ain't got it, you don't need it.' We'll make it here and sell it here! (Except for some beautiful french imports???)
(3). When imports are allowed, there will be a 100% import tax on it coming in here. (ouch, but well....)
(4). All retired military personnel will be required to man one of the many observation towers located on the southern border of the United States (six month tour). They will be under strict orders not to fire on SOUTHBOUND aliens.
(5). Social Security will immediately return to its original state. If you didn't put nuttin in, you ain't gettin nuttin out. Neither the President nor any other politician will be able to touch it.
(6). Welfare. -- Checks will be handed out on Fridays, at the end of the 40 hour school week, the successful completion of a urinalysis test for drugs, and passing grades.
(7). Professional Athletes -- Steroids? The FIRST time you check positive you're banned from sports ... for life.
(8). Crime -- We will adopt the Turkish method, i.e., the first time you steal, you lose your right hand. There is no more 'life sentences'. If convicted of murder, you will be put to death by the same method you chose for the victim you killed: gun, knife, strangulation, etc.
(9). One export of ours will be allowed: wheat; because the world needs to eat. However, a bushel of wheat will be the exact price of a barrel of oil.
(10). All foreign aid, using American taxpayer money, will immediately cease and the saved money will help to pay off the national debt and, ultimately, lower taxes.. When disasters occur around the world, we'll ask The American People if they want to donate to a disaster fund, and each citizen can make the decision as to whether, or not, it's a worthy cause.
(11). The Pledge of Allegiance will be said every day at school and every day in Congress.
(12). The National Anthem will be played at all appropriate ceremonies, sporting events, outings, etc.
My apology is offered if I've stepped on anyone's toes .... nevertheless....
GOD BLESS AMERICA !
Sincerely, Bill Cosby
Have a great day everyone. On this day in 1932, Martial law was declared in Honduras to stop revolt by banana workers fired by United Fruit.

...New Year babies
Hello. Being born on Christmas Day must be hard 'cause you are vying with the Baby Jesus. How about those born near New Years? SK and ND are two wonderful young people who experience just that annually. All I can say is...do NOT use Holiday wrapping paper for birthday gifts. It only minimizes the day. Imagine being the parents/grandparents of a child born right about now! I will channel strength and energy to those stoic folks. Is everyone still enjoying Holiday cakes and cookies? On this day in 1791, the Big Bottom massacre happened in the Ohio Country, marking the beginning of the Northwest Indian War. A few years later, Freddie Mercury wrote a song about it called "Fat Bottomed Girls." Without all of those Holiday treats, this probably never could have happened. Please send warm wishes to AA who has a nasty after-Christmas flu. Have fun today, eat, drink and be merry 'but' don't forget to burn off extra calories. Rest In Peace Freddie Mercury, but there are those still out there ready to write a new song.

...are you ready?
Hi. Happy New Year! Two Advil will take care of that. The fireworks went off as scheduled in Chester County, PA but all animals remain nonplussed. A few predictions for this year: a mysterious ring of light will appear to circle the planet earth giving it the appearance as a ring of light surrounding Saturn. A ring around my bathtub will appear after bathing the boys. This mysterious 'ring of light' will have a dramatic impact on the animal kingdom. All of the animals of the planet will start singing in harmony to the same melody. I sure hope it's "Bless The Beasts and Children!" From one end of the globe to the other end - all animals will be effected and they will be howling, cackling, barking, meowing, mooing, whinnying, in harmony to the same melody. On this day in 1925 the American astronomer Edwin Hubble announced the discovery of galaxies outside the Milky Way. No one Snickers!
The 200 dollar per yard silk arrived and I am hesitant to even cut the stuff. Maybe after two Advil. All the best in 2010 everyone! Health, abundance and peace of mind is my wish for this year.
