They started their morning with Santa, then we all got together for brunch and gift exchange (including my 84-year-old mother), and those of us who aren't expected elsewhere will be together for dinner later tonight. So glad you were able to share the joy with the little ones! Ben,

Here is my favorite Christmas song, Stevie Wonder’s version of “Someday at Christmas.”

God bless, y’all.

***********************************

“Someday at Christmas men won’t be boysPlaying with bombs like kids play with toysOne warm December our hearts will seeA world where men are free

Someday at Christmas there’ll be no warsWhen we have learned what Christmas is forWhen we have found what life’s really worthThere’ll be peace on earth

Someday all our dreams will come to beSomeday in a world where men are freeMaybe not in time for you and meBut someday at Christmastime

Someday at Christmas we’ll see a ManNo hungry children, no empty handOne happy morning people will shareOur world where people care

Someday at Christmas there’ll be no tearsAll men are equal and no men have fearsOne shining moment my heart ran awayFrom our world today

Someday all our dreams will come to beSomeday in a world where men are freeMaybe not in time for you and meBut someday at Christmastime

Someday at Christmas man will not failTake hope because Your love will prevailSomeday a new world that we can startWith hope in every heart

Someday all our dreams will come to beSomeday in a world where men are freeMaybe not in time for you and meBut someday at ChristmastimeSomeday at Christmastime.”

I echo writerdog's wishes for a boring and bloodless 2007 - today is a day when we should at least hope. By the way, thank you for running the column today about Christmas Eve at the end of WWII. It was a wonderful piece of history and a timeless message. Merry Christmas to the staff at the Eagle.
