‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the site
Everyone was typing, and things were all right;

The messages would range from a Guy Tread to a Sock
Everything went smoothly, except for that darned file lock;

Survivor, Trading Spaces, and a place just for games
This place was quite happy – A low number of flames;

Oh look, there’s Square, posting in aubergine
And birthdays get noticed – Ain’t that right, Jbean?

In chat you’ll find Sage, Sia, Wargod and Spy
And if you’re lucky a nekkid Weinermr will stop by;

There’s a Fly, some Dogs, Cats and an Owl
And the Mods are right there, should the language get foul;

Those who I’ve missed, I encourage you to post
And include the things that to you, mean the most;

Last but not least, thanks Admin(!), for this site
Merry Christmas TVCH, and to all a good night!!!

Dear Santa:

Before you load up your sleigh to make your rounds this Christmas Eve, I thought I would try to get one last message to you. It’s about what I really want for Christmas.

First of all, I want you to be careful out there. The world has become a dangerous place and people everywhere are nervous and prone to shoot at anything that they don’t recognize. Be sure to keep your transponder on, so the radar stations will know you’re a “friendly”. Better carry some extra batteries, or whatever it is that powers Rudolph’s nose. Almost everybody recognizes that particular beacon this time of year.

You’ll be flying over some pretty treacherous places; but they are places where the kids need you more than ever. Take some of what you have for me and leave it for them. I have to believe that even the angriest of people will let you through on your mission to brighten the day for the children, but you never know. Be careful.

Secondly, although I know you are always appreciative of how hard your reindeer work for you, I want you to give them an extra pat on the haunches and a couple of carrots from me. It’s amazing even in this age of technology how much we still need animals to make the world go round. Your care and stewardship of your team is a reminder to us all to respect the dignity of all life.

Third, I would like you to skip the goodies for me, and pass a little extra something along to the elves. They work hard, and I know that they enjoy what they do, but times are tough all over and I’ve had a pretty good year by most standards. I’d like to give something back to the “little people” that make such a big difference.

I want you to stop and give Mrs. Claus an extra hug and kiss tonight before you leave. Sometimes it’s easy to forget that every trip outside our doors could be our last one. Don’t pass up a chance to say, “I love you” to the ones who need to hear it. Life’s uncertain. Love is a rock.

Finally, I want you to know how much we appreciate what you do. It must be a puzzlement for you to watch the news all year and listen to all the foolishness and unnecessary grief we put ourselves through around the world. Especially when you have had the secret all along. It’s in the giving, isn’t it?

There you are, living in what most of us would consider one of the most desolate places on Earth. You have only your closest family, your fellow workers and your reindeer. And yet, you have it all, don’t you? Because year after year after year you give all that you can. And you take so little in return.

Well, take it from me (and I believe I speak for most of us): We may not always act like we believe in you – or the goodness that you stand for - but we live in the hope that you will never abandon us. We have to hold dearly to the thought that if we could only give a little bit more and take a little bit less, we might one day be like you.

So Santa, that’s what I want. I want you to know that you’re my hero.

A PT Cruiser Club member posted this on the club forums. I don't know if s/he wrote it or not, but I thought it was good and wanted to share it with all of you. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Twas the night after Christmas
And all through the house,
The kitties are sleeping
And quiet as a mouse.
The tree is just sitting
In the living room bare
No presents beneath it
Not like yesterday there.
I'm glad it is finished
It's peaceful and quiet,
Since I ate too much chocolate
And now I must diet.
To all of my friends
At this clubhouse place
I wish you could see
The big smile on my face.
Because all of you
Have touched me within,
It give me such pleasure
To visit here and grin.
Happy holidays all
I wish you with cheer,
And I hope that you all
Have a Happy New Year!

Grace
