"Ule! Ule!
Three puddings in a pule ;
Crack nuts and cry ule ! "

"But is old, old, good old Christmas gone?
Nothing but the hair of his good, gray, old
head and beard left ? Well, I will have that,
seeing that I cannot have more of him.
Hue and Cry after Christmas."

- The most wonder chapters and a few excerpts from Washington Irving's Sketch Book. His very fond and informative remembrances of an old traditional English Christmas. Read some or all if you like: http://classiclit.about.com/library/bl-etexts/wirving/bl-wirving-oldchristmas-1.htm

I'm feeling sad again this Christmas about not being able to spend time with my son. I will see my two daughters at some point throughout the holiday and I'm happy for that, but I don't yet have a place for them to come to me, to stay, a place where I can entertain them and share some of our wonderful time honored traditions. My daughter Chris who is very fond of musicals has requested that her sister Rose and I go to see Les Miserables, the film that's being released on Christmas day. I think that this is an attainable goal and I am looking forward to it. Maybe we could even go ice skating, I'm not sure. In any case, I hope and pray for a swift and positive change for the new year.
May God Bless You One And All...
