Merry Christmas!  My son arrived from San Francisco this morning and we'll be having the whole Family over for Christmas. It will be lots of fun, but I'll need to sleep for about day after it's all over. Best wishes to you all!  |

It was Christmas Eve and once again John had waited until the last minute to shop for a present for his wife, Mary.
John rushed to the mall, but as he approached each store, it closed ahead of him. Finally he found one store that was still open - a pet store. He went in and informed the manager that he needed a unique gift for Mary. No puppies, kittens or fish.
The manager told him that he had one pet that might meet John's request and brought out a beautiful parrot.
"This is Chet and he sings Christmas carols," the manager said.
Preparing to demonstrate, the manager pulled out a lighter explaining that Chet's trainer used unconventional methods for training Chet.
The manager lit the lighter and placed a flame under one of Chet's feet. Chet squawked, ruffled his feathers, and in a perfect imitation of Bing Crosby, began singing White Christmas.
John decided to purchase Chet, especially since he was desperate.
Arriving home, John presented Mary with Chet and proceeded to demonstrate the parrot's unique talent.
John placed a flame under Chet's foot and Chet once again squawked, ruffled his feathers, and in a perfect imitation of Andy Williams, began singing Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.
John moved the flame to Chet's other foot and Chet began singing Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer like Gene Autry.
Mary asked "What happens when you move it here?" and moved the flame to between Chet's feet.
Chet squawked, jumped, and began singing in the voice of Nat King Cole ...
"Chet's nuts roasting on an open fire ..."

This will be the first Christmas Eve (in 49 years) that we haven't had an open house with all the craziness that went with it but that it is fine. We just came in from sitting outside and celebrating sunset and what a beautiful sunset it was.  Tomorrow we go to our son's house with all our family to celebrate Christmas (without Carol going crazy about all the preparations necessary for a family gathering). For us, it will be a VERY relaxing Christmas.  To all of you, Merry Christmas and looking forward to our little get together in Portland  |

Sorry, no Christmas cards were sent this year, but the sentiment is there! Merriest of Christmases and happiest of Hanukkahs, or whatever you celebrate. You all are a blessing to me!
