"It came without ribbons! It came without tags! It came
without packages, boxes or bags!"... Then the Grinch thought of something
he hadn't before! "Maybe Christmas," he thought, "doesn't come from a
store. Maybe Christmas... perhaps... means a little bit more!"
We received a Christmas card from Maggie's Uncle MooseMas. Magical Uncle MooseMas. On the front of the card is a photo of himself grinning antler to antler. He's all about the Christmas season. Lighting is his specialty. He fills his antlers with colorful lights, but he really likes the J-I-N-G-L-E noise makers. He wears his jingle bell collar around his neck and is sure to shake it often. This is the side of Maggie's family that the other side cringes about when they come visit. They have no manners. At dinner they are known to eat the whole tree, not leaving a single branch for others. The proper side of the family calls them the free spirit relatives and sighs. Every kid wishes they had them for their family tree. They are the favorite relatives all kids want to spend time with, especially during the holiday season. Frivolity reigns free. Maggie counts her blessings for Uncle MooseMas is known for his fun & interesting presents. Maggie welcomes Uncle MooseMas' special gifts. It might be a single supercalifragilisticexpialidocious twig to beat all others. Maybe a flight through the sky upon his back jingling all the way? Maggie thinks Christmas means a little bit more, especially when Uncle MooseMas comes to her door.
Cousin Willie?
