You often will hear, when Christmas gets near ... "ohh bahh humbug - it's to early for all this cheer!"Holiday songs in the distance, and decorations in sight, we have not had our turkey yet .... Good Night!
If you open your heart, and see with your eyes, the children are ready ... for that's no surprise!
Tis the season of giving, with love and good cheer ... is special to the young, like angels so dear. So much excitement, amazement, wonder and glee ... I wonder if Santa, will still remember me?
Hold my hand Grampa, and come over here!
I see him I see him! ... and she runs with no fear
St. Nick is has his hat on, and his beard is so white ...
He has hugs for everyone, before the sleigh leaves for the night
So when you ask me, if Christmas can start to soon ...The answer is no, "I wish it started in June"

awwwwww, Speedy Santa ! this just warms me heart ... I've always said the magic of Kissiemuch should be shared with munchkins ... beautiful ! she is one lucky wee lady :)
Hello Santa ... it was good to see you again at the Macy's Christmas display.
:-)
Hello, I Ponder! ... indeed "I" am the lucky one.
That was wonderful!
There is nothing quite like little ones to put joy into your heart during the holidays. :)
Chris ... I am so glad you stopped by!
... and you said the pure truth there.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!
(I started already)
Yeah, I started already too! I love Christmas!
Mom and I brought up her decorations from her basement today. I've had Christmas tunes going round inside my head all day!
I'm having the greatest of difficulty not putting out our decorations too! But, we start with the outside and it is just tooooo cooooold! I'll wait for a break in the weather.
CAN'T WAIT!!! :)
Chris ... I really LOVE holiday music!
Warms me all up inside, before going out into the cold.
You had a good time with Mom??
ohhhh how delightful Speedy
your Granddaughter is gorgeous and your poem is soooo endearing...
you are both blessed to have each other :)))))
Oh yes! My mom lives 25 minutes from me. I'm always happy when she actually lets me HELP her with something. She's 70 and and very frail and VERY independent!
You have me wanting to put up some decorations RIGHT NOW! :)
You know, I don't see why I can't put a wreath on the door tonight. I going to do it! :) Christmas here I come! :)
Kim ... I knew you would stop in.
"She is pretty cute" - I might be a bit biased though :-)
I bet that Durano will be very excited to get his portrait for Christmas!!! It is looking great so far.
God bless
Awwww...dang it....you made me cry!
ENJOY this special time of year & of life with your little angel! I know you will, Grampa! {{HUGS}}
Chris .... HOOOORAYYY!!!!!
I am putting mine up too ... why not?
My parents are about 50 minutes away, pretty cool. It's nice to be able and call up to say "I'm coming over"!
Olga ... I am not really an emotional type, but just between you and me??? - I was a "bit misty" looking at this post myself. You are such a good friend!
Hug hug ... MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!
You should have a contest to see who can put up the most Christmas decorations by tomorrow night. :)
Somehow, I think YOU would win! :)
This is a wonderful blog Santa.
And somehow...I ain't buying that you arn't "emotional" either...I've read your post here before yanno.
It's OK....I won't tell a soul!
Chris ... well, if it was a Christmas Blogging contest, you may be right, although this darn keyboard seems to be glued to my lap!!!
Ha haaaa!!!!
HO HO HO .... Merry Christmas!
Olga ... Speedy strong on outside, soft like jelly on the inside.
:-)

Every day is Christmas when our grandchildren visit!
I'm sure Santa Speedcat celebrates Christmas every day when your angel visits Grampa in the North Pole of Hollydale! :)

Hi Beetle!
It is really nice to see so many people here at the North Pole tonight. Seems like departures from Twitterland have been on the upswing tonight :-)
And I agree, IT IS EXCITING
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here comes Santa Claus ...
Here comes Santa Claus...
Right down Santa Claus Lane!
Vixen and Blitzen and all his reindeer
are pulling on the reins.
Bells are ringing, children singing;
All is merry and bright.
Hang your stockings and say your prayers,
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight.
He's got a bag that is filled with toys
for the boys and girls again.
Hear those sleigh bells jingle jangle,
What a beautiful sight.
Jump in bed, cover up your head,
'Cause ... Santa Claus comes .... H E R E .... TO NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!
HO HO HO
Jingle bells, Santa smells. Forgot his deodorant today. ;op
no no no!
Ha haaaa!!!!!!!
I had a cousin that always sang that song.
".. of course Santa always wears North Pole cologne"
Looks like it's going to be a hard winter up North here. I wish I could fly south. I do I do I do. *clicking heals 3 times*
On Donner .. On Blitzen!
Rudolf, lead the way to take Awake on a trip South
HO HO HO!!!!!!!!!
Weeeeeee Weeeeeeee! I like this ride. Good boy Rudolf! *petting antler*.
Thanks Santa!
P.S. Twitters acting up. I thought that the party might be here since we were all taking about your new blog. lol
Awake ... I had a really fun night here making this post and having friends show up.
Christmas Magnifico!!!!
I am just renting though, and it is time to give Santa the keys back.
Thank you to everyone, and HELLO to all that may stop in on Friday. I will be out working in the reindeer barn.
Most of all, thank you to Santa
GOODNIGHT and MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!
... Speedy has left the builing
Oh my this is just so beautiful Eric. I have been away for so long. I really miss it.
But, I just don't know how to get back into the groove.
I want to make a post and contribute. but, it's been so very long.
I haven't even heard from Santa in ages.
I know he thinks I have been a bad girl and I suppose to him I have.
But, I do love Santa. I just need a little time and maybe a nudge.
Hugs to you Eric and Santa!!
I knew this was your granddaughter when the page loaded. She is a doll. And, perfect in this setting.
Sharing the Christmas season with children is the best. The two of you are so fortunate to have each other.
Speedy,dang it!! Now you made me tearful and its not even 9 am! Its true that the young ones have such joy and rely on us,their elders,to allow them to experience as much joy as possible.You have a wonderful way with words ,my dear friend.And your beautiful grand-daughter is a very lucky little girl to have you looking out for her...awwwwww,now I smudged my make-up :)
ps....the poem is lovely and sums everything up perfectly
This is so beautiful...my "Pa" was
so Irish and I miss his brogue and all...doesn't Christmas bring back all the memories of times past...She is so precious Eric...hold her hand a lot...they grow so soon.
Hello Speedy, long time chat ;)I wanna hold your hand

Oh my, that is soooooo sweet, Grampa Speedcat! It is enough to put me in the holiday spirit! I am glad to see you enjoying your time with your granddaughter.
:-)
I knew it! Santa, he is REAL!
I love your granddaughter's beautiful Christmas dress.
What a wonderful little sentiment!!! Your granddaughter is so precious. Merry Christmas to both of you and you too Santa!
Wow, you really have put me in the mood for the season, Speedcat!
Have to say I'm more than a little jealous that you are the grampa of such a sweetie!
I can only claim a "grand-dog" Ha!
Maybe I could make him some little antlers and take him to the mall for a visit with Santa...
You are one lucky man, Speedcat.
Jlo
