But, just a reminder to those who would like to carry on the tradition... Twas the night before Mudcat Christmas and all through the... Best to all lor |

The church once again was full to the rafters With stumble-ins we will most likely not see again, after: The bug only bites them-- when TV's scream "Xmas!!!"-- To kneel, say a prayer, and most surely not greet us. Parishioners shrug, wish them blessings, and send them back home Hoping maybe they might feel a bit less alone. ~S~ |

And what to our wondering eyes should appear But our long lost InOBU With love and good cheer.

Merry Christmas, old friend. Mary |

25 Dec 08 - 07:55 PM (#2524689) Subject: RE: BS: Twas the night before Mudcat Xmas 08 From: McGrath of Harlow Twas the night before Christmas, I woke with a start, I heard a strange noise that would quicken the heart, And out through the window I saw a strange sight, A piper was playing in the dark of the night. He'd a hat on his head, it was flat, it was wide, And sat in a sledge with some sacks by his side. Oh who could he be - could he be a housebreaker. Then I saw it was Santa - he was dressed as a Quaker. |
