I just thought I`d drop by for a bit. I don`t have much to say today as I`m really worn out from all the overtime that I`ve done, oh, and the shopping and the rest etc. I am so looking forward to Christmas so I can have a rest !

THE GIFT OF GOD
There was seen a radiance
Glowing one night
Near the little maiden Mary
In blue and white.
"Lilies are not fairer,
"Roses more red,
Than the Child she seeks to slumber,"
An angel said.
So the shephards ventured
Through the white cold,
And their eyes beheld the Infant,
An hour old.
Long they gazed and wondered,
Awkward in awe,
At the paramount perfection
Within the straw.
" Diamonds are but trifles!
" Rubies no gem!"
Cried the hearts that slaved for pittance
Near Bethlehem.

Ouch! Those quotes really hit home. No music *sobs*. Beautiful poem. Well, now the postal rush is over, you can put your feet up and relax. Have a truly wonderful Christmas xxxxxx
I know what you mean about everything being hectic lately, with preparations for Christmas. Will be nice now though to sit back and enjoy the fruits of our labour :o) Love the put downs, and the poem!

Hi Sandra,
I love ALL those quotes...especially the one that Mae West gave. Keep the stork...hehehe
And I loved the poem. That was so pretty.
When work is all done you can put your feet up, lie back and take a good long rest~and that isn't to far away. :)
