Oh look, Chicken Thursday!

Wow - I just spotted so many grammatical mistakes in last week's news! I am behind on my emails so I don't even know whom to thank for pointing them out!

When I first saw today's video share, I asked Grandma Cybersalt if she had ever heard of an 18 string harp guitar. When she replied that she had not, I knew we were probably both in for a treat - and I was right!

Meowy Christmas from your loving cat.
Aren't I cute? Now leave me alone.
--Ann Bartow

I've always loved the Christmas Feast.
I've heard this year it's ham.
Too bad I've other plans this time.
Love, Your Pot-bellied Pig named Sam.

FROM YOUR PARROT
Jingle bells! Jingle bells!
Jingle bells! Jingle bells!
Jingle bells! Jingle bells!
Jingle bells! Jingle bells!
Jingle bells! Jingle bells!
Jingle bells! Jingle bells!
Jingle bells! Jingle bells...

You feed, pet and house me.
And I love you for that.
But stop calling me your "kid."
I'm just a stupid cat.
--Brian Jones

---------------------

I want to say I love you,
Before anything could spoil it.
So don't look in the living room
That new carpet? I just soiled it.
--John Gephart

---------------------

As watchman-cat, I've done my job,
The house is safe once more.
That shiny stuff that stormed the tree
Is dead now on the floor.
--Larry Hollister

---------------------

We, your cats, at Christmas say,
Thanks for caring for us each day.
We love this season, all green and red,
And by the way, the hamster's dead.
--Peter Bauer

I never understood how the little drummer boy's parents could just send him outside alone at night to play his drum until my daughter brought a recorder home from school.

"Christmas is a time when lots of people get Santa-mental."

"It's what you give that makes an impact on this world, regardless of the things you have."

- Jennifer Betts

Sarah and her thirteen-year-old sister had been fighting a lot this year. (This happens when you combine a headstrong three-year-old, who is sure she is always right, with a young adolescent.)

Sarah's parents, trying to take advantage of her newfound interest in Santa Claus, reminded the two-year-old that Santa was watching and doesn't like it when children fight. This had little impact.

"I'll just have to tell Santa about your misbehavior," the mother said as she picked up the phone and dialed.

Sarah's eyes grew big as her mother asked "Mrs. Claus" (really Sarah's aunt; Santa's real line was busy) if she could put Santa on the line.

Sarah's mouth dropped open as Mom described to Santa (Sarah's uncle) how the two-year-old was acting.

But, when Mom said that Santa wanted to talk to her, she reluctantly took the phone.

Santa, in a deepened voice, explained to her how there would be no presents Christmas morning to children who fought with their sisters. He would be watching, and he expected things to be better from now on.

Sarah, now even more wide eyed, solemnly nodded to each of Santa's remarks and silently hung the phone up when he was done.

After a long moment, Mom (holding in her chuckles at being so clever) asked, "What did Santa say to you, dear?"

In almost a whisper, Sarah sadly but matter-of-factly stated, "Santa said he won't be bringing toys to my sister this year."

Rev. James Snyder, God's Penman, writes . . . . 

Lately, I’ve been having some fascinating dreams at night. Usually, I don’t give much thought to dreams, but lately, I’ve been thinking more about them.

Last night, for example, I had this exciting dream, and everything seemed to be coming in my direction, and then I woke up before the end. Once I woke up, I did not know how the dream ended.
