Christmas poems online

For several (16 I think) I have been writing poems as a way to let everyone know what was up with us over th eprevious year.  The main reason I have continued to write them is becuase it seems that our friends and family have looked forward to them.  Strange as it may seem.  A big problem is keeping them all together.  I realized that by copying to this blog it can act as an online back-up.  The 2008 poem will be the first one up.
