CHRISTMAS DAY.

WELL HERE IT IS CHRISTMAS DAY AND AS USUALL SANTA HAS DROPPED OF MORE THAN I EXPECTED BUT SINCE I WAS AN EXTRA GOOD BOY THIS YEAR NOT AS MUCH AS I FIGURE I SHOULD GET, THAT'S LIFE OR AS THE FRENCH SAY "C'EST L 'VIE". THAT'S ALL I WILL SAY ABOUT THIS SUBJECT BUT I WILL TRY NOT TO BE SO GOOD IN '06. HOPE YOU ALL GOT LOTS OF GOODIES FROM THE OL' FELLOW WITH THE WHITE BEARD.

I HAD A REAL GOOD CHRISTMAS SEASON WITH MY SANTA PROJECT EXCEEDING EVEN MY WILDEST DREAMS & KNOWING THEIR ARE 3 REAL HAPPY CHILDREN OUT THERE WHO WITH THE HELP OF A LOT OF REAL GOOD PEOPLE HAD A SUPER CHRISTMAS. NICE TO GET UP THIS MORNING KNOWING THEY ARE ENJOYING SANTA'S VISIT AND PLAYING WITH THEIR NEWS TOYS. THEY WILL ALSO BE SETTING DOWN TO A NICE DINNER OF TURKEY & VEGGIES IF THEIR MOM CAN GET THEM TO STOP PLAYING LONG ENOUGH TO EAT.

jUST LIKE TO SAY THANKS TO THE TOTAL STRANGERS WHO MADE THIS ALL POSSIBLE BY SENDING ME MONEY TO HELP MAKE THIS A CHRISTMAS THE BOYS WILL NEVER FORGET. YOU ARE ALL A WONDERFUL GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO I HOPE THOUGHT OF THESE CHILDREN WHEN YOU GOT UP TODAY AND GAVE YOURSELVES A BIG PAT ON THE BACK. THANKS AGAIN FOLKS IT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN AS SUCCESSFUL WITHOUT YOUR GENEROUS HELP.

TICKETS SALES ON THE MONEY TREE ARE BEYOND WHAT I THOUGHT WAS POSSIBLE. SO FAR WE HAVE MADE ENOUGH MONEY TO SEND 4 ATHELETS TO THE CANADIAN SUMMER SPECIAL OLYMPICS IN BRANDON, MANITOBA. THEY WILL BE GOING IN JULY 2006 AND I HAVE GREAT HOPES FOR THEM. I WANT THEM TO GO, MEET NEW FRIENDS, HAVE A GOOD TIME, REPRESENT PEI PROUDLY, AND GIVE THEIR BEST PREFORMANCE. IF THEY DO ALL THIS THAN THEY WILL COME HOME WINNERS IN MY BOOK, IF THEY HAPPEN TO WIN A MEDAL THAN THAT WILL BE A BONUS. I FIND THAT WAY TO MUCH BEING MADE ABOUT WINNING EVEN AT THIS LEVEL BUT THE ATHELETS KNOW BETTER AND CAN TEACH A LOT OF US THE MEANING OF COMPETING.

I AM GOING TO WRAP IT UP FOR TODAY BY WISHING EVERY ONE OF YOU THE BEST OF THIS MAGICAL SEASON, TIME TO GO VISIT THE RELATIVES & SEE THEIR GIFTS AND SAY HI.

I HOPE TO DO MORE ENTRIES IN '06 AS I ENJOY DOING THEM, JUST HOPE SOMEONE IS READING THEM.

CATCH YOU ALL LATER.
