From all of me to all of youse ...

[manfredvijars]

I'm sitting here and reading stuff from you folks on the 'Net'
Somehow you all are known to me (and yes, there's some I've met)
I feel your aspirations, read your hopes and trials and falls;
and know your journeys, like my own, will weather many squalls.

The Festive Season that we're in makes me reflect again.
So, my melancholy mood dictates that I take up the pen -
and wish you all a heartfelt Peace and hope we all recall
the object of this Season - "Peace on Earth, Goodwill to ALL!"

Merry and Safe Christmas to all of youse from all of me ... Manfred

[Maureen K Clifford]

Back at you Mannie - stay safe, stay sober, sing lots and all will be well

[Neville Briggs]

Thanks Manfred.

Goodonya Mannie I hope your Christmas is all you would have it be, All the very best to you and yours.

TTFN Dave.

Ps an’ I’m sure Maureen might have meant “ Stay Happy not Stay Sober” after all one be seen to be having a good time.

Merry Christmas to you too Manny. I think when Maureen said "sober" she was joking - she does that!

Neville he says "melancholy" every year. I don't think he really means it.

Bob's explanation sounds reasonable, Heather.

[Maureen K Clifford]

I just wanted Manny to stay 'nice'

[Glenny Palmer]

....''stay''....?

[Glenny Palmer]

Thank you Mannie. What a delightful poem. You have a very 'happy Christmas' & keep the 'merry' under control. (Listen to Aunty Mause)
