I'm thankful this holiday season for my best friend. She is fun to be around and we fight a lot but I wouldn't have it any other way.
I am appreciative of anyone who has common courtsey, specifically that guy in the blue car today who saw I was backing up to get a parking space that people were walking to their car at and respected my dibs, without this act of understanding I probably would of broke out into a fit of rage and pooped myself. Happy holidays 
I would like thank ALL of our Brothers - Sisters - Fathers - Mothers - Aunts and Uncles that will not be home for the Holidays because they are at War with our enemies and protecting our Freedoms and Borders.
They are the bravest and most unselfish people I have ever known.
Be Safe all of you and get home as quickly as possible!
Thank You!
Twas the night before Christmas
He lived all alone
in a one bedroom house made of
plaster and stone.
I had come down the chimney
with presents to give,
and to see just who
in this home did live.
I looked all about,
a strange sight I did see,
no tinsel, no presents,
not even a tree.
No stocking by mantle,
just boots filled with sand,
on the wall hung pictures
of far distant lands.
With medals and badges,
awards of all kinds,
a sober thought
came through my mind.
For this house was different,
it was dark and dreary,
I found the home of a soldier,
once I could see clearly.
The soldier lay sleeping,
silent, alone,
curled up on the floor
in this one bedroom home.
The face was so gentle,
the room is such disorder,
not how I pictured
a United States soldier.
Was this the hero
of whom I 'd just read?
Curled up on a poncho,
the floor for a bed?
I realized the families
that I saw this night,
owed their lives to these soldiers
who were willing to fight.
Soon round the world,
the children would play,
and grown-ups would celebrate
a bright Christmas day.
They all enjoyed freedom
each month of the year,
because of the soldiers,
like the one lying here.
I couldn't help wonder
how many lay alone,
on a cold Christmas eve
in a land far from home.
The very thought
brought a tear to my eye,
I dropped to my knees
and started to cry.
The soldier awakened
and I heard a rough voice,
"Santa don't cry,
this life is my choice;
I fight for freedom,
I don't ask for more,
My life is my God,
my country, my Corps."
The soldier rolled over
and drifted to sleep,
I couldn't control it
I continued to weep.
I kept watch for hours,
so silent and still
and we both shivered
from the cold night's chill.
I didn't want to leave
on that cold, dark night,
this guardian of honor
so willing to fight.
Then the soldier rolled over,
with a voice soft and pure,
whispered, "Carry on Santa,
It's Christmas day, all is secure."
One look at my watch,
and I knew he was right.
"Merry Christmas my friend
and to all a good night."
They are the bravest and most unselfish people I have ever known.
Be Safe all of you and get home as quickly as possible!
Thank You!

I really really like my wife, she hasn't tried to smother once in my sleep. I think. Anyway, if I am right, she is great!
For all those who suffered terrible loss this Christmas Season over in Connecticut, we are still praying for you. God be with you this season.
I just want to say happy holidays and thanks for providing the best yet unbiased android forum. I hope I can win this for myself as I love tech and want to be able to say I did win something on the android forums. Happy holidays AC and keep it classy.
Loved Google's Zeitgeist vid. Can't wait to see what they cook up with the X Phone!!! Happy holidays everyone
My only wish is that we find a way to help troubled kids/adults from thinking that hurting themselves or others are their only way out. If I only had one wish this would be it. For anyone reading these posts please stop and listen, I mean really listen to family,friends, co workers , strangers when we ask how are they doing. If we all can only help one person in our life time, I would like to believe this world would be a much better place. Happy Holidays to everyone.
