Holiday message to one and all

So quiet was the night
The chill of winter had sliced through the land
quick and sharp as a knife
One Star lit the skies above ,
larger than the moon , so very bright
No one noticed as they slept
As Angels above sang their songs
The world was silent but the Heavens brilliant
with Angels singing ,
while each held a candle
lit with the love of the one we know
Not Santa Claus , no no , but the one in our hearts
the one in our soul
The one who created all that exists and will
forever be
The Holy one , no matter what name you call
The Holy One will hear you , one and all
So, may you sleep well this silent night
and be blessed as the skies above herald in
this season we all hold dear
Happy Holidays to all my friends on line and off
Thank you for being who you are
and thank you for friends near and far

Christmas The secret of the Christmas Tree

The air is brisk , you can see your breath.
The evergreen trees are dressed in white.
Look at those evergreen trees , look deep and within.
A spot of Red will appear, right before your eyes, it's the beautiful Red Cardinal bird who enjoys the game of let's hide.
But what you will not see is hidden deep within that beautiful evergreen tree.
A little gray bundle, whose tail is over his body like a blanket. He's snuggled in the crook of the branch by the trunk of the tree.
It's a Squirrel, that character we all know.
Squirrels are very smart you see , and that's why their play can cause you misery.
They enjoy digging in your flower pots , and such glee to get into the bird feeder, oh my, that's the tree Squirrels' antics that's such fun if you just look and see.
This Christmas , while you are preparing your feast for your family and friends , if there's an evergreen tree somewhere near,
please put some raw peanuts under that tree.
Or , walnuts, oh my, now that would be a real treat, indeed.
Even a few kernels of corn would be nice to tuck hidden under that tree.
Christmas is a time for giving. Giving from the heart.
And if you see that evergreen tree , let your heart give to the creatures that might live there, hidden in that tree.
We are on this little planet together , and most times it's the dear creatures outside that are not thought of.
Punky Squirrel wishes all a Merry Christmas or whatever holiday you celebrate. Punky Squirrel also wishes good will and peace to ALL on earth, and to ALL on earth good cheer.

No Santa Claus , no Easter Bunny

Merry Christmas in the 1950's was a true slice of American apple pie. Children believed in Santa Claus till almost a teen.
The fantasy of the North Pole and that wonderful man in the red suit made December the longest month of the year. The first day of December was a countdown to Christmas Day.
The music really was in the air , people singing , bells ringing.
Church for children was always a dull Sunday affair, however, come December, even church became a fabulous place for children to be.
Mom would have Dad find the fattest tree...so wide it would fill the corner of the room. So tall, the angel tree topper would be bent forward due to her halo touching the ceiling .
A miniature village would be errected under the tree, complete with the Lionel train set going around the village under that fat Christmas tree.
The excitment of the coming Christmas morning is an emotion I can still feel in my heart to this day.
Then the years went by, the 1950's era gone...into the 1960's and on and on.
By that time of course , the legend of Santa Claus was revealed to be a story, same as the Easter Bunny...oh, and the tooth fairy too...all gone, never were, and yet, my heart still holds that joy.
So, every December , it never fails , my heart does a happy dance as my mind plays those scenes of my childhood from the 50's era.
And I still hear Santa's voice , oh yes I do, as he rides his sleigh high in the air,
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.
And then my heart smiles and my soul fills with the sweet memories
