Merry Christmas to all Bloggers.

Well here we are…. Almost Christmas 2011

And I’ve finished this years “family & friends” poetic message and low and behold I came across the Bloggers 2007 Christmas Message which I decided to reprint ‘cos I like the idea!!!!

I write a Christmas message for family and friends

each year ( it’s a 22  26 year tradition) and this is the

third year I have done one for my blog buddy’s.

I thought it might be a good idea to post this early

as I know I have some poetic friends who might want

to join in to this idea (budding tradition?)

Bloggers 2007 Christmas Message

Another Year has ended

And with this, I’m sure you’ll agree

I’m broke…. my money’s spended

Thank the lord blogging is free

Once more I look back with glee

At what’s given and taken both ends

Just to think that we, Yeah, you and me

Though still strangers, we’re friends

Oh what stories we make-up

And with all of that hype

Cyberspace we fill up

With all the stuff that we type.

It’s been said many times

We are closer in “here” than with others

Here I’m searching for rhymes

I’ve got it… in “here” we are brothers.

As I read a sad, or happy, post

I often sit with tear in eye

The thing that surprises me most?

Just what has made me cry.

Another time I’ll burst into laughter

As I admire the writing skills

And I’m hooked, a fan thereafter

With all my morning coffee spills.

So to all of us, yeah, I’ll include me too

Whose memories and imagination

No matter whether false or true

Write our posts and avoid litigation.

To all of my blog buddy’s

Wherever from far or near

As you sit in your study’s

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

( If you celebrate some other form of religion or belief

I hope you have a good one)

Better try to add a verse or two

To bring this up to date

So this is from me to you

Yeah…. from your Aussie mate.

It seems like my bloglist is broken

There are so many “retiree’s”

Such a lot of my original contacts

Are no longer shooting the breeze

To say they are missed

Is so obvious, and so understated

But life has a habit of getting in the way

For many the writing urge just dissipated

There are other reasons for giving blogging away.

But to those hearty souls who continue

And are happy just blogging away

May your lives be filled up with gladness

As you find something new to post each day.
