It's probably true that some people may abuse Terri's kindness but at the same time, it's no fun to have the same partner, over and over. She's kinda between a rock and a hard place, and is trying her best to make this fun for everyone. Why don't we all have a nice, hot cup of cocoa, with a splash of coconut rum?

Dreamer, isn't it about time for another song? Seems like we need a little Christmas . . . .

<header> [h=1]Christmas Spirit[/h]

</header>

Praises sing to Christ the King
And peace to men on earth
On Christmas Eve I dreamed I traveled all around the earth
And in my dream I saw and heard the ways the different people
Hail the king whose star shone in the east and what a dream it was
In London Town I walked around Piccadilly Circus
A mass of people movin' here and there, I wondered where
On every face at every place was, "Hurry up, I'm late"
But a kind old man at a chestnut stand said, "Merry Christmas mate"
And I felt the Christmas spirit
In a little town nestled down in Bavaria Germany
I walked along to see what the feeling there would be
And here again was the busy din, the rushin', the yellin'
But some kind boy said, "Frohliche Weihnachten"
Not understanding the words but gettin' the buyin' and sellin'
I felt the Christmas spirit
In Bethlehem I heard a hymn, some distant choir sang
And with other tourists I walked along to a Church as its bells rang
Then I heard someone tell someone, "There's where Christ was born"
I wonder if He looked like our baby looked on that first morn
And then I really felt the Christmas spirit
From a businessman in the Holy Land at a sidewalk souvenirshop
I bought a little Bible since I'd already stopped
And it was in Paris France somehow by chance that I took the Bible out
As I flipped the pages I saw these words
And I knew what it was all about
For I read, "Fear not for behold I bring you good tidings of great joy
Which shall be to all people
For unto you He was born this day in the City of David, a Saviour
Which is Christ the Lord"
Then I took the little Holy Book, held it close and tight
I closed my eyes and visualized the glory of that night
So suddenly it came to me for when I awoke on Christmas Day
I felt the Christmas spirit down deep inside to stay
O little town of Bethlehem how still we see Thee lie
Above Thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by
Yet in Thy dark streets shineth the everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years are met in Thee tonight

That's fine, I'll remove you from the list.

This is my third year for the swap and it has been nothing but fun...I don`t participate in the back and forth teasing but love to read and laugh as I read....your doing an amazing job making sure everything is fair and fun!!! Don`t let anyone say otherwise!!!

tlrnhi

I admit, that I didn't word the wording right, so what she thought, could have been construed as playing favorites. I have fixed the problem, I hope, in the wording.

I just ask, if you have a problem with anything, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE send me a PM. We can get it squared away in that, no need to put any sort of dirty laundry on the thread. This is a fun swap, I've always played fair.
I run EXCEL for the names and I never know how the names are going to be sorted. I don't do the sorting, I let hubby figure that out. I just thought that it would be nice that if you were swapping with a person on other swaps, you wouldn't want them again. I know I wouldn't. Always nice to have someone new and not the same person on 3 swaps at the same time.

Neesie

Dreamer, that's beautiful and perfect! Thank you!

Neesie

Nope, wasn't me. I'm wearing my beeeeeauuuuutiful light-up tiara. You probably dropped that halo, when you were 'borrowing' chocolate! Uh-ohhhhhhhh. Maybe the goody-goodies raided your stash, last night! Is anything else missing?!?

KGoodhand

You do a wonderful job with all of your swaps that I have been in!!!!! Kooodos! I feel bad that others are going to miss out over something silly!!!! We all have our own opinions.
