For several years, we have been writing stories and poems to give to our children for Christmas and other special events. Although it takes a great deal of our time to do this, we'd rather spend the time sharing of ourselves rather than shopping for things no one wants or needs (believe me, we've spent lots of time and money doing that in years past).
With the aid of the Internet, we now find we can share this spirit of Christmas Love with those beyond our immediate family. We hope you enjoy the stories we have to offer. Come back again, for we will be adding throughtout the months and years to come.
For some reason, this year I have been very focused on my brother, Gerry, who I get to see very infrequently. Yet he, as are all of my other brothers and sisters, is very special to me. This year, I wrote a poem about the year he was born: Santa Came in Pink Ballet Slippers. I also wrote a short story, Play Santa!, about that same Christmas of 1952. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them.
Peace and Joy be with You
throughout this Holy Season!
Love and Blessings to
ALL our Family and Friends.
Have a healthy and prosperous
New Year!
God bless you.
