THANKS AND NO THANKS

As the holiday season rushes in, we are reminded of all we are thankful for:

Thanks for all our abundant riches.  We truely live like kings!

Thanks for family and friends many we only see once a year, but never lose touch.

Thanks for our faith in the goodness on earth.  Our spirits are renewed, hope is rekindled.

No thanks to the greed, the anger, the pettiness that can creep into our lives through the stress of the season.

Thanks for the food, the parties, the bubbles, the cookies, the gift's, the giving and the warmth we feel.

Thanks for those who work while we rest, travel, shop and dine.

Thanks for the wine, the women and song. for the time honored movies and festive events.

No thanks to the traffic, the lines and the wait.

Thanks for the time with  book, a spot by the fire and a glass of good port.

Thanks for the new trinkets, and gadgets galore.

Thanks for the sports, the specials, the music and the lights!

No thanks to being troubled, to war and strife.

Thanks for justice and peace and love!

"Be safe out there!"
