Christmas carol
All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth: Lyrics
Every body Pauses and stares at me
These two teeth are gone as you can see
I don't know just who to blame for this catastrophe!
But my one wish on Christmas Eve is as plain as it can be!
All I want for Christmas
is my two front teeth,
my two front teeth,
see my two front teeth!
Gee, if I could only
have my two front teeth,
then I could wish you
"Merry Christmas."
It seems so long since I could say,
"Sister Susie sitting on a thistle!"
Gosh oh gee, how happy I'd be,
if I could only whistle (thhhh, thhhh)
Christmas quote
Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful.
Norman Vincent Peale

December's quote
I just want to make music, I don't want people to talk about me. All I've ever wanted to do was sing. I don't want to be a celebrity. I don't want to be in people's faces, you know, constantly on covers of magazine that I haven't even known I'm on.
ADELE
December's poem
Fire and Ice By Robert Frost
Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

November's poem. My daughter, my friend by Kristina Cyronek
I see the pain in your eyes and feeling like you do
I wish I could take it all away and skip these years for you
Being a teen is so very hard, it really isn't fair
To go through all of this and still feel like no one is there
You don't have to tell me how you feel, I see it every day
Like nothing you ever do is good enough, or you're just in the way
If you could see through my eyes, how confident and true
You becoming a young woman, but still somewhat a youth
I can't make this feeling go away, I can't fix all of your tears
But I can tell you that I know, the feelings and the fears.
If you ask me how I know, all that you are going through
I will answer simply I know this all because... I have been there too.
November's joke
COINS

The friend says, "If I guess right, will you give me one of them?"
The first guy says, "If you guess right, I'll give you both of them."

October's poem
Descending Trousers
© Diana Laura
Oh, dear,
Oh, my gosh,
I hope that no one saw,
I wish that I could laugh,
But maybe someone saw,
Maybe I should hide,
But, ah, whatever,
I'll just pull my trousers up.
October's joke
In the classroom
A teacher said, "Mary, I'd like you to give me a sentence beginning
with 'I', please."
Mary thought for a few seconds and then said, "I is..."
The teacher interrupted her and said, "No Mary, you cannot begin a
sentence with 'I is' - you must use 'I am'."
Mary looked upset and said, "But Miss..."
The teacher shouted, "Give me a sentence beginning with 'I am', please."
Mary shrugged her shoulders and said, "I am the ninth letter of the alphabet."

Sit yourself down, take a seat
All you gotta do is repeat after me.

Penguin
A man was walking along Hietzinger Hauptstrasse near Parkhotel
Schönbrunn when he found a penguin walking along the road.
So he picked it up and took it to the local police station.
He said to the policeman "I found this penguin on Hietzinger
Hauptstrasse, near Parkhotel Schönbrunn. What should I do with it?"
The policeman looked at the man and said "It's obvious what you should
do with it! Take the penguin to Schönbrunn Zoo.
The man said "Of course, I'll take it to the zoo" and he left the police
station with the penguin under his arm.
The next day the policeman was on duty in the city centre when he saw
the man walking along the street with the penguin by his side. The policeman stopped the man and said "I thought I told you to take the penguin to the zoo?"
The man replied "Yes, I took it to the zoo yesterday. Today I'm taking it to see the Opera House."
