Hi Dave, I loved your poem...just so peaceful. Just today I decided I was ready to start decorating my house for Christmas and start listening to Christmas music. It really just disgusts me to see the stores jumping the gun with the holidays. All about the profit it seems. Christmas is my favorite and I love everything that goes into the decorating, and listening to the festive music....but it always amazes me that I don't TRULY feel that real, deep Christmas feeling until Christmas Eve....Christmas Day. It's like a calm settles over me and I feel it deep deep inside. Looking forward to it.

Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday!!!!

Loved your Poem Dave, & I Always Enjoy your Links to them, I Resently Went and Read & Listened to a Couple of your Others ones On Utube... They Still Give me Hope! Yet Help Remind me Of Where I Came from, and How Far I have come! So Thank you for Sharing :)

Around here... within a Month after Easter, the Christmas stuff starts hittin the Shelves, I Of Course "Boycout" ANY Christmas Stuff till after Thanksgiving! I Just feel like, they Each have their own place, and In Order (Not a Control Freak at all am I...lol" I Just Refuse to buy stuff I don't need, when I don't Need it! And when you live in a home with LIMITED Closets, Well, it just don't make sense! So I Put my Boundrys in Place!

Thank You Dave for the Birthday Wishes & I Hope that you Find Peace on Your big Day... I'm Grateful Every year I get to Embrace another, and Every day for that matter, cause when I work this program and realize where I Could be Right now! All I Can Have is Gratidude that HP Seen More Use for me In this World, and I try not to take that for Granted! Soooo... Happy Birthday to You ((((((((DAVE)))))))) & Happy Birthday as Well to you ((((((Hobbit)))))) Heres Hoping We All Find "Ease, Balance & Grace!" Thru out the Holidays...
