Christmas is on the horizon and the New Year is soon to follow.. As I sit here with a spot of tea while browsing holiday memories, I am hoping for better New Year for everyone…

The new year is rapidly approaching As I contemplate the tomorrow, Leaving some memories filled with happiness A few memories filled with sorrow. I peer out my window At a winter world cold and bleak, A world of conflict, anger and hate Mortals are suffering as I speak. But we have a dream My friends and I, That one day there will be peace No more mortals will die. And there is hope Of a world filled with love one day, A wish that could come true For hope is the last to die…they say. Not a world of race, color or gender Nor closed minded ridicule or prejudice...you see, But a world that respects another’s dream Of what or who they wish to be. So I peer out the window Not with sadness or fear, But a heart filled with a dream That everyone has a wonderful new year. (Larry “Dutch” Woller)My wish for 2021 (and 2020)… 🙂 Hello Diary… Got some snow overnight… 🙂

Yes, Christmas is a week or so away, New Year soon to follow.. may pop in Christmas and New Years Eve briefly but thinking I will stop the world and get off for a couple of weeks, return after the New Year.. relax the ole fingers for a time, maybe write some thoughts that rhyme… 🙂 drink a glass of cheer while strolling down memory lane… but before I do, sharing another memory of a Christmas when I lived on the farm… 🙂
(I am standing up)… 🙂

It were a ole drafty two story farmhouse and my brother and I slept upstairs and my Mom and Dad slept downstairs directly below us…. 🙂
It’s twelve days till Christmas And as I look around, Checked every package under the tree No toys for me were found. But I’m not one bit worried The sadness it won’t last, Because I have some memories Of many of Christmas past. One Christmas eve in particular For the night my brother and I retired, It wasn’t long into the night The imagination was fired. We had train track all over the floor Much to Mom’s dismay, All night long, sending messages back and forth Wondering about Christmas day. But in a blink of an eye All got quiet real quick, There was a shadow in our door And it definitely wasn’t ST. Nick! It’s Christmas morning….wait there’s a honk And I looked out the window to see, It was just my neighbor in his car Bringing me back to reality. But that’s ok, I haven’t grown old And I’m not even gonna start, I’ll be forever young, don’t you see With Christmas in my heart. ( Larry “Dutch” Woller )Yes, I can remember those holidays when family gathered from the four corners of the earth on Christmas day to enjoy that Christmas dinner… 🙂 Well, with that I shall close for 2020 (is that cheering I hear??… ), relax a bit and take in the holidays, but I shall return again in 2021, Fate be willin’ and the creeks don’t rise… 🙂 In the meantime, have a mostest wonderfulest holiday ever and a very Merry Christmas and New Year filled with love and happiness… 🙂

Christmas Is Coming, White Or Not……. Tis rain and fog, not a snowflake in sight Looks more like Christmas in Hawaii, and this I fear, With the weather forecast in hand May not be a white Christmas this year! The tree is trimmed, not as many lights this year The presents are fewer, but tis the thought that counts, Maybe not as plentiful, but food is prepared As Christmas draws near and excitement mounts! The spirit is in the air, the weather not to matter And I am caught up in the spirit, I must confess, So white or no, Merry Christmas to ALL! And may all your presents be filled…. with love and happiness!! ( Larry “Dutch” Woller, )
Merriest of Christmases to you!

I hope you get some snow for Christmas. Here in Nottingham we only get a White Christmas perhaps one year in twenty or thirty.
