Twas the Night after Christmas when all through the house
The toys from yesterday lay strewn about.
Most wrappings were stuffed in the trash bag with care
In hopes the trash man soon would be there

The children were all saddened by the broken toys
Left over yesterdays Christmas joys
The food museum was stuffed with the left over feast
Which nobody would partake of Mom liked that the least

When all of a sudden there arose such a clatter
All sprang from their chairs to see what was the matter
When what to their wondering eyes did appear
But a wonderfull singer who had no fear

His cheeks were like roses
His disposition quite cheery
As he explained to us all
That we should not be so weary

Twas Patrick you know
With his up-beat glow
Then said to us
With a HO HO HO

Let us all sing
Its time we all cheer
With Love in your heart
We can have Christmas all year

In his hands were some song books
In his lap a boom box
Twas tuned to SUNNY 102
On his feet were some sox

All gathered and joined in the song
It was quite remarkable
They all sang along

Although they have forgotten the Christmas feast
We know they will remember one thing at least
With joy in your heart and a song on your lips
You can face anything, That’s Patrick’s great tip

God Bless You Patrick
Keep on singing
Its never too early
For some Christmas Singing

Hi Big Mike!

I wanted to pass this on to you – 5 year old Noah Blorkman is in the end stages of neuroblastoma. He lives in Michigan and his family is celebrating Christmas next week. His only wish is to receive hundreds of Christmas cards from everywhere. His address is:

Noah Blorkman
1141 Fountainview Cirle
South Lyon, MI 48178

Also, November 15 is the Hope for Heather “Girl’s Day Out” – a day of shopping and pampering at Tawn Marie’s Dance Center in Liverpool. We will have many vendors of jewelry, handbags, scarves, baked goods, a mobile spa doing manicures and pedicures, and a portion of every sale goes to Hope for Heather.

Hope you are doing well – love the Christmas music. Heather’s fiance, Jess, just finished the ING marathon in NYC in her memory – raising $3,000 for cancer research.

Keep in touch!

Frieda
