In ancient times, both Druids and Romans hung sprigs of mistletoe in their homes and places of celebration to bring good fortune, peace and love.
A list of allegedly real comments made to department store and mall Santa's:
*"Santa, when you come down the chimney this year,
watch out for the fire."
*"I don't feel so well....HURL!"
*"I want TWO firetrucks. One for me and one for the poor people."
*"All I want for Christmas is to stop peeing every time I sit on somebody's lap."
Outside there's a pine tree standing straight and tall. It need no decorations--nature's done it all. Pinecones on its branches with icicles glistening bright,
Snow upon its needles and birds at rest from flight. I see it from my window, and take the time to say, Thank you for your beauty, tree, on this Christmas day.
