Thank You and MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND DH.

I'm having a very quiet and blessed time in prayer and study.
There are a lot of very good people in harms way this Christmas who need our devout prayers as they strive to make our world a better place.
 
It is 12:01 Christmas day and I am wishing all my HCL family a very Merry Christmas. May all you wishes come true and all you troubles fade away. Be safe and enjoy. From the Arizona Valley Folks.

The Night Before Christmas, Texas Style:
'Twas the night before Christmas, in Texas, you know.
Way out on the prairie, without any snow.
Asleep in their cabin, were Buddy and Sue,
A dreamin' of Christmas, like me and you....
Not stockings, but boots, at the foot of their bed,
For this was Texas, what more need be said,
When all of a sudden, from out of the still night,
There came such a ruckus, it gave me a fright.
And I saw 'cross the prairie, like a shot from a gun,
A loaded up buckboard, come on at a run,
The driver was "Geein" and "Hawin", with a will,
The horses (not reindeer) he drove with such skill.
"Come on there Buck, Poncho, & Prince, to the right,
There'll be plenty of travelin' for you all tonight."
The driver in Levis and a shirt that was red,
Had a ten-gallon Stetson on top of his head.
As he stepped from the buckboard, he was really a sight,
With his beard and mustache, so curly and white.
As he burst in the cabin, the children awoke,
And were so astonished, that neither one spoke.
And he filled up their boots with such presents galore,
That neither could think of a single thing more.
When Buddy recovered the use of his jaws,
He asked in a whisper, "Are you really Santa Claus?"
"Am I the real Santa? Well, what do you think?"
And he smiled as he gave a mysterious wink.
Then he leaped in his buckboard, and called back in his drawl,
"To all the children in Texas, Merry Christmas, Y'all!"

We've all heard of Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen... Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen.

Most of us have heard of Rudolph the Red nosed reindeer who started out as an oddball outcast before he was accepted but few have heard of Rudolph's clumsy half-brother Randolph.

Randolph was about as uncoordinated as it was possible for a reindeer to be. He would constantly trip over his own hooves, bump into things like walls and trees. Santa spent many hours trying to train Randolph in the skills of pulling a sleigh while in harness.

Time after time, Santa would put Randolph into the traces and hook him up to the small training sleigh.

And time after time, Randolph would get his hooves all tangled up and either fall over, break the traces or tip over the sleigh. Santa, being a very patient and kindly elf, persisted in the training until one day, as if by magic, Randolph seemed to "get it" and was able to successfully pull the training sleigh all the way across Santa's North Pole training field.

Santa was overjoyed since Prancer was starting to suffer from a bit of arthritis and hoped that Randolph could fill in for him... at least on a temporary basis.

Finally, the big day came for Randolph's maiden flight as part of Santa's 1st string reindeer team and, in the beginning, everything seemed to go right as rain. Hitched in the second row on the left, immediately behind Dasher, Randolph followed Santa's commands beautifully... running to attain flying velocity, responding quickly and correctly to Santa's tugs on the reins... it seemed as if Randolph's maiden flight would be just the first of many in his new career as one of Santa's finest.

That was, until the team arrived at the first rooftop that Santa wanted to land on and Randolph suddenly forgot his training, failed to properly apply his brakes and rand smack-dab into Dasher's rear end!

And thus, was created the legend of Randolph, the brown nosed reindeer!
