Yes ... I know that Christmas ...

... has been mentioned in a few threads already ... but hey, I'm the Ma Yappy and I take liberties in being yappy about the whole subject.

I've been in MLU a while now ... and Lord knows I've many posts to prove it ... you can probably double the number of posts in my "current" profile when adding it to my original one ... so yes, I've been yappy ... in the past ... and not so yappy lately.

Christmas ... I sit here, late at night, Sunray sleeps and snores for the morrow's work day and I ... sit here. Awake. Thinking about many things, including Christmas and all of you in here in your little corners of the world ... doing Christmas ... whatever that means and is, to you and yours.

I really haven't been very "yappy" lately ... much has slowed my pace and typical Ma mode ... but hopefully, this too shall pass ... or maybe some enjoy the quiet? Like Old Hairy Beast? Geez ... may I even enjoy the surcease?

Funny .. Christmases past sort of ebb through my mind ... kinda like a lifes' review, and I see, in my minds' eye, many, many, Happy Christmases ... forget the commercialism, I'm talking Christmas in the heart ... especially the heart of the family gatherings ... so very nice ... think of the aromas of Christmas ... scents ... ah yes ... smells like Christmas!!! Feels like Christmas ... do's like Christmas ,,, sounds like Christmas ...

I can't afford to give store-boughten gifts, and have not the energy and handy-ness to create home-made gifts anymore ... but i wish to give something to MLU-ers for Christmas ... and that would be ... a little piece of my heart and love ... for after all this time, like it or lump it (as my dearly departed Mom would say) ... we are family ...

There are so many of you ... I would like to address personally by name ... but there are TOO many of you for me to be able to handle the typing to do so ... so I shall simply say to all of you folks ... HEY ... I LOVE YOU's GUYS and GALS and you'll always be special to me ... and I wish I could give each and every one of you "A LITTLE PIECE OF MY HEART" in good will and with great affection for this Christmas, and for the New Year ... and all through.

And ... I would wish for you all to accept that little piece of my heart in the spirit it's given ... spontaneously and freely ... in goodwill to all ...

Merry You-Know-What ... ah, piss on it ...
MERRY CHRISTMAS DAMMIT ... from MA YAPPY
