My cats have taken all the candy out of our candy dishes to bat around the house, tried to topple the tree (which I anchored to the wall with fishing line) and undecorated our Cypress in the front yard by climbing it and knocking off the balls, one by one. Sigh. But they're oh, so entertaining. Happy Holidays! ~Marion

If What You're Waiting for is Christmas
By David Devine
If what you're waiting for is Christmas
You don't need me to tell you so
If you've been looking for somebody
You might not have that far to go
See how the candle dances
With all the shadows on the wall
If what you're waiting for is Christmas
It might be coming after all
Sometimes I feel so tired
Sometimes I feel so blue
I'm just going thru the motions
Of almost anything I do
But guess I'm getting better
Even I'm a bit surprised
When I see my own reflection
In a dark haired angel's eyes
Maybe all that really matters
Try to feel the mystery
Found in people left abandoned
Burning, blooming poetry
If for miracles you hunger
You might see a few come true
If what you're waiting for is Christmas
It might be waiting there for you.
