I am so sad.....somebody say something to make me smile...

[BEMM]

But first - I'm so sorry you are sad. I send you a cyber hug.
And now for the smile: On Christmas Eve we hold hands, the whole family, and walk around the Christmas tree and sing. Some of our songs are in Danish, and the in-laws and grand children just hum along. Our son's little 3 year daughter, Hazel Ping, was so happy to walk around the tree between her Mommy and Daddy, that she bounced up and down with every step, and when we sang in Danish, we could hear her very pretty voice sing along very loudly. Only her Mommy and Daddy could hear the words she sang - they were, "Scratch my head, scratch my head............"

Another hug coming your way..... Kids are the best sources of smiles, aren't they. We moved from Ottawa to here in northern Alberta when our kids were small. We planned to build on an acreage, and my father-in-law supervised the drilling for a well before we came. The holes were getting deeper and more expensive, and no water was appearing, and the phone calls were going back and forth. The kids were listening and trying to understand, and finally my 4 yr. old daughter said in a very puzzled voice "Mommy, why can't we just get water from the tap in our new house?"

On another note, I was sent a cartoon before Christmas with a very happy looking lady holding a wine glass and saying "I'm dreaming of a white Christmas, but if we run out of white, I'll settle for red"
