We used to hold a contest. (no prizes we're too tight!) Best song won the chance to brag about it on the forums! It was just a way to get people writing, doing something! A goal if you like. I almost won last year, sadly, I was the only entrant. And I posted my effort after the deadline. If anybody is interested, we could revive it for next year? We used to start advertising it about July, August! If anybody would like to get anything going in this way, we could have a quartely contest with a theme? Perhaps get some small prizes to the winner. Got some luverly fridge magnets!

I am writing a Christmas lyric, but it's not finished. There is some big international Christmas song contest, can't remember who the sponsor is.

Anyways, here is a Christmas Poem that 'Santa' left for my kids on Christmas morning. The secret is to leave treats for the reindeer, not just for Santa. Everyone does that, but nobody thinks about the reindeer. Santa appreciated that, so he left a note. At least I think my daughter told me.

Dear Kate and Max,

I don't have much time

To spend here this year,

But I want to say "Thanks"

For your fine Christmas cheer.

Your house is just lovely

All twinkling with light,

And your tree is the best one

That I've seen all night

And I'm tempted to sit

And take a brief snooze

But children are waiting

In ones, threes and twos

So I can't take much time now

To write you this letter -

It seems the world's children

This year have been better

For my sleigh is still full

Of goodies and toys

To deliver to all the world's

Good girls and boys

Now it's getting quite late

And I must tell you true

That I still haven't been

To Tibet or Peru

But first I must go

Back to Bellevue and Redmond,

With presents for Daisy,

Lucille and Desmond

It's nice that you left us

Our treats in a bag

We can eat them in transit

Rather than lag

The reindeer are restless -

It's unseasonably warm

We'd all prefer sleighing

Through a jolly snowstorm

As I'm sure you would too

If you had it to choose

Between muddy wet clothes

Or snow in your shoes

But there's no sense complaining

For Christmas is here

And I hope it's your happiest

Day of the year!

Ho, Ho, Ho - Santa
