I will be spending Christmas with my cousin and her son. I will be computer free until next Monday 12/29.
Everyone have a merry, joyous and safe Christmas.

Hope that your Christmas was blessed!! Thank you so much for all the great music and the great charities! I love all of the suggestions.
Normally I do more for charities through out this season but we were hit with a lay off. We are blessed to not have the finacial responsibility of a house but I only work part time. Craig was the fulltime worker that was laid off. No excuses just facts.
Thanks for all the music through the days and weeks and months. It really is something I look forward too. Even my husband will ask what does Ed have for us today. Happy New Year!!

Tam, I am going to guess your “reader” has about 1,000 post in it. As our blog community continues to grow it does become harder and harder to keep up with everyone.
It also means we have many more friends to sharing the spirit of the holiday season with.
I hope you and your family will continue the holiday spirit right through the new year.

Danielle, it is becoming harder and harder to stay “offline”, and away from my blogging friends like you, even for a day or two.
I hope you and your family had a great Christmas and a very happy, and safe, new year.

Papa, Heather’s performance was one of the most moving I have seen.
All other gifts pale in comparison to having a father coming home safe.

Theresa, I am always happy to know friends that enjoy music as much as I do.
Keeping a roof over your families head, and putting food on the table, is the most important priority for any parent, and 2009 looks like it’s going to be a tough year for many people.
Charity means giving, and the most important gift is love. If this is the only gift you are able to share with your neighbors, and your community, it can do more than dollars and cents.

Darla, I made it back home full of the spirit of Christmas, as I hope you and your family are.
I look forward to sharing 2009 with you, and all my blogging buddies.
It will probably take me at least a day to catch up on all my friends blogs.
I am putting up a blog post today, twitter will have to wait for tomorrow.
