I know there are some students who are on the forums, and
others who will be going home for the holidays. Want to wish
you all a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! There will be
others on the forums who are only online at work, and their
work may be getting ready to shut down till the new year
begins. So:
MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR
to one and all!!
Jingle Bells, Jingle Cat…fa, la, la, la…you are going to miss me aren’t you…a whole week w/o Mookie…la, la, la…I get a week paid vacation over Xmas, plus 3 weeks of vacation besides. Will be selling all that time off on e-bay, since I would rather work. So y’all go there and bid really high!

So Happy Holidays to all who will be gone before next Wed pm. Rest of you are stuck until then…
Hey Mookie
youd like the team they are nicknamed the bob"CATS" and also they like to celebrate on weekends too.I truly wish for everyone to be able to take time and sit back and reflect on what CHRISTmas is all about. so tone up those vocal chords clean those instruments and have a safe Holiday season.
Stay safe

My family and I celebrate the birth of Christ, but many of our friends and aquaintances follow different traditions. And so we offer greetings of the season, with wishes for peace and good will among all people.
Isn’t this great - you can e-mail holiday greetings to people all around the world and not have to pay postage or write the card! Or maybe this is just a female (and a few males) thing!
Well, Sis, I don’t have mailing addresses for most of the forum folks, so we’re kind of stuck with it.
The celebration of Christmas has started early this year in our family, due to the uncertainties of our jobs (i.e., whether our employers will want us to work on those days) and the impending arrival of our granddaughter. Our immediate family opened some gifts around the tree at my daughter’s house last night. She hopes that she can provide one more gift before Christmas–the sooner the better, as far as she’s concerned!
We’ll also be celebrating an early Christmas of sorts at our church, with the unveiling of a remodeled sanctuary this Sunday (we’ll have the traditional candlelight services on Christmas Eve–whether I can go depends on my work schedule; we’ll probably have lots of sleighs–I mean, cars!–to hump that night).
Many people from both of our families will be coming down at various times during the week after Christmas (they’re hoping to see the new baby–and in one case it will be a nice way to visit with relatives returning home from celebrations at other locales).
And today is the day I wish everyone at work a happy new year–because everything we earn from now on will be part of our 2005 income.
So we’re celebrating from now until January–we’ll keep the home fires burning for the most part, but our holiday greetings go now to those of you who have to leave us for a time. Enjoy, but stay safe!
Yeah Grampa Carl!! You can get that rocker, and use it to rock that new
grandbaby when it’s at your house!! You and Mrs. S can take turns
using it to rock the baby!!
Beside all the great fun of having a new child in the family, if the granddaughter arrives on or before the 31st, she should have a very nice check from the IRS to give to her parents. Her mother should speak to her, “Come along now, child.”
