*sigh* I'm loosing my touch. (Warning: Hi-jacked by Em)

Oh my, do you have ESP? That is absolutely what happened just before I typed comment # 25990.

She asked that very same question, and I replied, "Vehve just said something really funny - he's from Finland." A shrug of the shoulders and she was gone. "V" do you have other super powers?
 
Always nice to bring a smile to someone's face.

Sometimes you just don't realize how much you touch someone. Most Mondays we go for 'half price' pasta at a local restaurant. We always have the same waiter- he is from Costa Rico, and we have learned that he is estranged from his family (especially his father) and has not seen them for a very long time. He and the Princess are best buds and finally he is warming up to me. Tonight he gave us a Christmas card thanking us for talking with him and for making him laugh. So very sad that he is alone and has no family to bring him joy. He apologized for his poor hand writing, and we assured him that it was fine.

Today while we were making cookies the Princess said, "I'm going to take a box of cookies to Frank. No one will be making him cookies." Thank goodness we had something to give him - in addition to a nice tip.
 
I think homemade edibles make for really nice gifts. It shows that you've put time and effort into making the gift, so it's very personal. Homegrown eggs also make for a nice gift, but we're running a bit low at the moment. We gave away most of our remaining eggs to the neighbors because the dad's parents are visiting from Germany. I think we have three eggs left, and Wilma seems to be laying a bit badly now too, leaving Emma as our only layer. How soon do broodies usually resume their laying after the chicks have hatched? Do they often lay and act as mommies at the same time? At least they're eating like crazy, so they should regain the lost weight pretty quickly.
 
Isn't it time for some good ol' Kingdom Christmas carols? I'm in a musical mood, so let's start things off with one of Sour's favorites:

Chucky comes home for Christmas
Just you wait and see.
He'll be there
In your favorite chair
Or climbing up the tree.
Coats and beds may hide him
But soon he will appear
Chucky comes home for Christmas
To Sourland, don't you fear!
 
Not nice,

, not nice.
Oh, dear. I guess the Broody Magician doesn't think I should be invoking the ghost of Christmas past. Has he turned up yet?

Here's another that I'm sure you'll all recognize ;

I'm dreaming of a green Christmas
Here in our Kingdom's rosy glow
Let's pause and wait
At the Northern Gate
to see, Alaskan shoot at snow.

I'm dreaming of a green Christmas
All sparkly fantasies take flight.
As Sour hosts moat swims at night
And Blue's moat denizens take bites.
 
Mini Chucky resides in my computer desk - knife in hand pointed at Beavis. I can keep an eye on him there.

GREEN Christmas -
