Exactly 123 years ago, the New York Sun journalist Frank Church published an answer to a question from an eight year old girl: Is there a Santa Claus?

In 1965, Jimmy Dean sang those words. It was played in our house, and it taught me to think more about what was in my heart, rather than what resides in my mind.

1914 (WWI), an informal truce took place on a small piece of the front lines in France, recreated for a 2005 film. That same year (2005), the last surviving Soldier of the war died at 109 in Scotland. Lest we forget...war can be very crappy, or, it can have great beauty.

Thank-you. It is just a vaping b-day.

I have been floating around YouTube today. I don't have family so the holiday is bland, but I am getting caught up in veteran's activities in my new Colorado city. Kind of an emotional day and a few to come.

I hope others like me are having stable days. I haven't read from Anna lately...I hope all is well.

Anna has, according to her status, moved on. Which is a nice way to say she has been banned.

As I've said before, the site is much less interesting, now.

It is coming up on the actual Christmas Eve and I understand the importance of letting someone know that they are thought supportively of, and stopped to have a prayer for...hoping Anna is doing well this season.

If someone is in communication with her...let her know.

Whatever the reason for banning, it was near-sighted. Just deleting the post may have been appropriate. In the Provarinati Diner and Saloon, which is a lounge forum, we look out for others.

This is Christmas, and we should all wish her a Merry Christmas.
