    Taking care of the kiddos at the abused women and children shelter has given me the most satisfaction and Christmas spirit.
    " I'm old-fashioned. I like two sexes! And another thing, all of a sudden I don't like being married to what is known as a 'new woman'. I want a wife, not a competitor. Competitor! Competitor!" - Spencer Tracy in 'Adam's Rib' (1949)

    A WW2 bomber without a crew lands by itself, and origin of the term "Foo Fighters".

    Reports of a plane flying by itself were not unheard of in WWII, but a B-17G on two engines had very little chance of remaining in the air. The crew watched the plane fly away, but thick cloud cover caused them to lose sight of the bomber. Unbeknownst to the crew the plane was still in the air when they hit the ground.

    The Shepherd, by Frederick Forsyth, a CBC radio annual Christmas ghost story.
    It is Christmas Eve, 1957. Flying home, on leave from Germany, he is alone in the $#@!pit of the Vampire. Sixty-six minutes of flying time, with the descent and landing - destination Lakenheath. No problem, all routine procedures.

    Then, out over the North sea, the fog begins to close in. Radio contact ceases and the compass goes haywire. Suddenly, out of the mist appears a World War II bomber. It is flying just below the Vampire, as of trying to make contact ...

    So its my best christmas memory and my worst, but I remember it as my best
    Wow! I'm an sorry you lost your mother at that age. I guess she made her love very clear in case what happened, happened.

    All around the world the spirit of Christmas is being celebrated. The warmth and joy and magic spreads from heart to heart. This Christmas spirit that we feel, has been passed on to us, from all who came before us. The love has traveled forward in time to the present all around us. The care of those who came before us is alive and well, it is something we can see and feel and experience. The magic and love does not just appear or begin one day, rather it is a living energy, that has never died out. It is a flame that burns and is passed on from heart to heart.

    Our memories are alive and vivid, this Christmas is made of all of the Christmases of the past. We feel the joy and the magic of memories from long long ago, they burn bright in our hearts, and minds. The whole world comes together to share in this spirit.
    It is the coldest darkest time of year, and out of that darkness people find the light that is in their hearts, and they take that light and make it a reality in the world around them. Lights are hung, candles are lit, bows are decorated, and trees shine bright. Songs of joy, and kindness fill the air. Smells of sweets, and goodies are everywhere. The spirit of Christmas, is a time where we take what would be a dark time, and we find the brightness that shines in our hearts, and we look to the goodness, and kindness, in our hearts, and we celebrate our togetherness.

    Even for those who are alone, you are not really alone, because the whole world is sharing the spirit of Christmas, all you have to do is feel it, and you will be in the company of the kindness, and love, that is pouring out of hearts all around the world. And for those who long for loved ones, we are the living continuations of all who came before us. The hearts of those who we love, were born into ours, and have become part of who we are. If we know how to look we will feel them with us still. The power of love, and kindness, are the greatest things there are. Love is the most powerful force in the universe, and it is love that fuels the spirit of Christmas.

    May all beings near and far feel the love and joy that the spirit of Christmas brings.

    Merry Christmas to all.
