May you have a wonderful Christmas Season and healthy and Happy New Year.

For those of you who knew my mom and dad, miss yours, appreciated used bikes and tennis shoes, and can stomach poor Christmas poetry, my 2008 Christmas poem for youse is here....

For those who just like white stuff and Deano, click Let it snow here.

For those who'd like to help send 21 million slimmed-down American St. Nicks over the next 27 years to spread peace and good cheer at home and everywhere, why not read one of the eight sections from the Yes, AWSC Can Report or click here http://worldservicecorps.us/Yes AWSC%20canES.doc and then urge your House Rep and Senators to join Congresswoman Woolsey in sponsoring People's Lobby's American World Service Corps Congressional Proposals in the next Congress. Santa is sure to reward you for doing so. And God knows the next generation needs Santa to send sleighs of AWSC volunteers and a lot fewer Hummers laden with our serving troopers.

For those of you who aren't getting a gift from me or much from Santa, click here to find out why.. Where's my Gift, Dude?

And for those of you who think this Santa stuff is humbug. Joe the Plumber and Joe Sixpack tried explaining to me why I should vote your way...

"Christmas is just plain weird. What other time of the year do you sit in front of a dead tree in your living room eating candy and snacks out of your socks and making kids happy?... Just weird, especially when you could use the time to drink beer, listen to shock-jocks, and kill brain cells..."

The guy who knew how to use a can-opener was more convincing than the guy who thought using Draino made one a plumber, but I'm still not in that union camp yet. May Christmas songs still touch you too.

God bless... whichever one or kind you use.
