Breakfast

I put different kinds of berries in my cereal or oatmeal but I sure don't swallow them whole.
 
Mom saved this poem from a Dear Abby article 30 or so years ago and wanted to share it with all of our blip buddies:

"What do you want for Christmas?
What can we give you this year?
If we say, "We want nothing!" you buy something anyway,
So here's a list of what we'd like; believe now what we say:
Pajamas for a little child, food to feed the poor.
Blankets for a shelter, and we ask but little more-
Perform good deeds and let us know,
Or volunteer your time.
These last are worth a fortune,
And they needn't cost a dime
We have too many things now, vases, candles, tapes and clocks.
We have our fill of garments, ties, underwear and socks.
Candy is too fattening, crossword books we've more than 20.
We don't need trays or plates or cups,
And knickknacks we have plenty.
We've no walls to hang more pictures;
We have books we've not read;
So please take what you'd spend on us
And help the poor instead!

Mom and I feel blessed to have each other. For those who might be busy tomorrow and not much time to get around on blip, we wish you and yours a Blessed and Merry Christmas.
