A Christmas Card


I sincerely wish everyone who read this a Merry Christmas, we all deserve it. no matter who you are here.
To find peace in the merriment, an joy in your heart.
I wish it for myself, as I do for everyone.

It seems every year I get visited by the ghosts of Christmas Past, and Present and Future. It always exposes me.

I keep wondering if I'm built different.
If others go through the same anguish of not doing what they are suppose to, and doing what they know is wrong?

I think about others sometimes. Until I realize it doesn't matter, if they carry the same burden or not. In fact more power to them if they have no anguish. I begin to realize that we only know how alike we are. We can never know the truth about our differences.

So I sincerely wish you all, a MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Merry Christmas,

May Santa not carry a lump of coal, to any of us.

(Please do not define Santa as Liberal, if he has that view about coal)

Hey there Jiminy...... Warm holiday wishes to you and a peaceful 2017!!

It's difficult to be aware of what's going on in our world and try to view it all without becoming truly concerned.

I quit tilting at the big windmills about 20 years ago. Now I only concern myself with things that I have a chance of helping change.

Big Warm Christmas Hugssss!!!!

I wonder if Don Quixote would agree with you?

I tilt at windmills because they are there
I tilt at windmills because I am here
The battles wrong and battles right
not measured by victories, but the fight.

Others tilt using their own lance
At dragons, that come their way by chance
A force of faith, they can't deny
When their truth, becomes someone else's lie

I tilt at windmills, it's what I see is true
Let dragons lie, all day through.
And if it be false, what others see
my expectation is to let it be.

I fight the windmills of my mind
I can only hope they're not one of a kind
And others can find their own windmill
And let dragons lie, and not hunt the kill

Expectations can pay the devil's due
A toll on faith, that counts the revenue
If the amount you're paid is not enough
You're counting the unimportant stuff.

I do wish you a Merry Christmas,

I hope, your stocking can be filled with sincerity
And that on this Christmas Eve, that Christ will remove your fear.

Thank You,

A Merry Christmas to you

There is so much to believe in you, when I hear you speaking from the heart.
It doesn't take a lot words, I know because words get in my way
The simplest things are the easiest to understand, if it's true.

    Merry Christmas, Jiminy. I'll take the lump of coal - especially if it helps keep one American coal miner working.

I would to thank everybody who has responded.
Just because i didn't write back to you, doesn't mean my sincerity is any different.

For those who would have a reason to question my sincerity, I felt the need to respond.

Rocket,

I did not think you had reason to question my sincerity, I respond to you, because because you brought out a poem in me. Thank You

Christmas is a hard time for me. It purposes challenges, the rest of the year doesn't.

I don't choose to believe it's God's way, but then again I don't believe it's not.
Whether one believe in God or not. I would hope we all in search of a guiding light.

Looking back, we see ourself as walking in darkness, and have the fear of a dying light in the future, for all we had missed.. So it's important we try, Try to find our own guiding light.

As I watch, It's a Wonderful Life, or Scrooge. The message is clear...

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a Goodnight.

I prefer the really old one with Alstair Sims. It always seems to effect me more. It was the first, as such my favorite. I do not judge the acting or the cinematography, or whether it's in color or not. It was the new one for me, the others are not new..

It represents my moves through the times, and my changes about Christmas. The tears, the joys, and my own portrayal of Scrooge.. It's simply has been a constant, where consistency has been lacking

I was afraid you take my statement... I was only responding to those who would have a reason to question my sincerity , to may mean you.
I responded to you for an entirely different reason.
