It's a bird, it's a turkey...where's the carving knife! Green bean casserol, mashed potatoes and gravy, stuffing, cranberry sauce, black olives, turnip and rhubarb, plates utensils napkins, plenty of chairs and a really big table, with a traditional holiday cloth, all the beverages, sodas, milk, egg-nog and brandy...holiday background music playing softly...and I think that's it! Oh wait I almost forgot! All your family relatives and friends and mothers and fathers, and sons and daughters, sisters and brothers, grandfathers and grandmothers, aunts and uncles and cousins and of course the family dog and cat! Games for the kids to play to keep them entertained while the adults talk and tell stories of their year since last...and then there's me. I used to have all of that, but the last of it ended this year when my mom passed away in May, so I have only the memories of what used to be the greatest time of the year, but as it has been said, 'All Good Things Come To An End' and now there's just me... ....as usual, just my thoughts. ....John M. *GO SEE THE HOLIDAY DECORATED WEBSITE OF MINE AT: ARTIMATIONSDESIGNCOMP.COM* http://www.artimationsdesigncomp.com/ J.M.Piper©2010, All Rights Reserved
