We had a fun time at Makris Lobster & Steak House in Concord last week for our annual holiday party. We donated numerous gifts to the Friends of Forgotten Children charity where many of us "adopted" a child for Xmas and had fun shopping for all their gift wishes. Cans of food were collected for local food pantries and all members participated in a gift swap which was a lot of fun! Fran was thrilled to get another fluffy blanket this year while others were happy with the ever popular chocolate, wine or booze gifts!! A great time was had by all! Merry Christmas to everyone and remember to "Keep Christmas With You" All Through The Year (in the words of the Sesame Street song I grew up singing with my mom and sisters).
  | Keep Christmas with you All through the year, When Christmas is over, You can keep it near. Think of this Christmas day When Christmas is far away. Keep Christmas with you All through the year, When Christmas is over, Save some Christmas cheer. These precious moments, Hold them very dear And keep Christmas with you All through the year. Christmas means the spirit of giving Peace and joy to you, The goodness of loving, The gladness of living; These are Christmas too. So, keep Christmas with you All through the year, When Christmas is over, Save some Christmas cheer. These precious moments, Hold them very dear And keep Christmas with you All through the year. |
