The 11th Day of Christmas

"On the 11th day of Christmas
My True Friend Gave to Me...

...11 good Christmas books,

10 Good Laughs with Hockl,
9 Palm Branches,

8 Members of a Loving Family (soon to be 9),
7 Ellie Hugs,

6 Paperclips,
5 Christmas Stockings,

4 Generations of Loved Ones,

3 green comfy blankets,

2 Braiding Hair Friends,

And 1 Warm Winter Hat."

As a child I always loved to hear my father tell stories

or read a good book. One of my favorite Christmas tails

is "The Night Before Christmas". It brought the magic

of Santa to life for me. There is a part of me that will

always believe because of that - I hope I never loose that.

May you rekindle that belief yourself this holiday season.
