The Williams!!!

This morning I went downstairs to visit my Paw-Paw and Granny! For those of you who do not know, we live upstairs in my grandparents house! We drank a couple cups of coffee and chatted about a little bit of everything! We started talking about the weather! How it has changed from when she was a little girl! Around Christmas time when she was growing up there was always a big blanket of snow covering the ground! I told her I wanted it to snow soooo...bad! She told me that the sign of snow was Cardinals! Of course, I thought she was telling a tale!! She told me that Cardinals really come out when it is going to snow! So, we changed the subject and kept on talking. My grandparents have their own little house downstairs. They have a living room, bathroom, bedroom and a kitchen. They turned the garage into their own little place. They replaced the door from the garage with a huge glass sliding door and that happens to be in the kitchen. As we were talking in the kitchen, I was looking outside!! Guess what I saw... 4 Cardinals in her dogwood tree.... We both got quite, as if they could hear us from inside..why do we do that?! Anywho, we watched for a few minutes!! My granny then told me the snow is soon to come!! I laughed...
I get to work and do a little research... Cardinals love cold weather and snow.. Maybe my granny is right!!! I hope so!!!!

The fun times of having animals on Christmas.....

Dear Santa, I'm fine and how have you been?
I feel it's about time to write you again.
Our town has become a bright Christmas scene,
With everything sparkling of crisp red and green.

Now that I'm older I've found out some stuff.
I'd like some new things but I may have enough.
They tell me that some kids don't have many toys
And there's not enough food for some girls and boys.

I remember the wonderful things you've brought here,
I hope you'll do that for some others this year.
Just look up the past, as you make out your list,
Then please put on top the ones that were missed.

Some of us that you have blessed in the past
Will rejoice, this year, with your gift that will last:
For it's through your example you taught us our part,
It's the spirit of giving you've placed in each heart.

I've talked to my friends and we've pledged that this year
We will all do our best to help spread your cheer
We'll make someone smile who's been sad Christmas Day.
Dear Santa, I love you. Your friend, The Williams!

I didn't write this, but I found it to be true!
Let's help others, start something new!
