I’ve been a life long New Orleans Saints fan, and I can’t begin to describe the excitement, the anticipation, and the sheer JOY of finally seeing the Boyz in Black and Gold be as good as they are this year!!
Somebody I work with shared the first seven “results”… So I’ve taken the liberty of posting these here and adding what has transpired in the last few games, especially that 38-17 thumping of the NE Patriots on MNF….. here goes….

09/13/09 Saints devoured the Lions 45-27
09/20/09 Saints shot down the Eagles 48-22

Cold, clear night in Mississippi
In this tiny town
Nestled between the Wolf and the Pearl
No snow on the ground
But that’s quite allright
It’s still Christmas Eve
Everyone’s gone to bed
I’m alone
Save for the golden laborador
Laying at my feet
Sharing the dying warmth of the fireplace
Sparkling Christmas tree
Seems to have lost its enchantment
Paling in comparision
To the star-light connection
That stretches between us
I read again upon each page
The poetic words that flew
From your heart
To your fingers
To me..
Tis’ said
Home is where the heart is
Mine is where ever you are
This Christmas Eve night

Our Zackety Zack Zack
Loves a tasty snack
Finding warm laps is his knack
His moods are seldom black
His purrs never slack
Love you will never lack
If you adopt our Zackety Zack Zack

My name’s Lancelot
Like my distant cousin the ocelot
I want to be king of the sandlot
I like my foster home alot
But I want my own Camelot
Won’t you please plot
To adopt your very own Sir Lancelot?      

lilbit0501                

Such a lady is Lilbit
Demanding attention is not her habit
She patiently waits a bit
Then by your side she’ll sit
And gently ask for it
She’d love to be a perfect fit
Won’t you please adopt a lady like Lilbit?

Nov

on this winter’s night
let me fill
your stocking with song
as the icicles melt
into holly holy rain
salty tracks
to be tasted and cherished
while overcast skies
are torn asunder
between your heart and mine
our souls joined as one
by threads woven in the stars of old
while the flame elves dance
their ring of fire on the yuletide logs
let me drink
of your holly holy eyes
sparkling in the candlelight
mystifying wonders
to be found in their depths
I don’t need mistletoe
to answer the sweet enchantment
of your parted lips
holly holy dream
let me adorn
a garland of kisses
upon your skyclad flesh
promises of ectasy and fulfillment
my hands
a gentle sleigh
following the course
of your soft smooth curves
and making snow angels
at the hollow of your back
my tongue
southward seeking
your delicate pink ornament
hidden amongst tiny downy wreaths
who could have foretold
I would find the precious gift of you
this Christmas night
holly holy dream
let me be your shelter
take and wrap
this moonlight blanket of my love
around you
and
sleep
in the heavenly peace
of my arms
holly holy love

Near, far, where ever we are
Birmingham….Thibodaux….Jamacia
Gathered in kinship together once more
In enchantment, these golden days of yore

Our hearts filled with levity
Our troubles will be miles away
‘Cause this Christmas we have all come home
Where the love light gleams and wishes roam

The halls are decked with Mom’s crafts creations
We think she’s teaching Bali to Fa~La~La~
And while Dad pa rum pum pums away in his workshop
Three sawdust sprinkled cats keep time from atop

The Jamaican connection made it safely to mainland
My, how they’ve changed, Kathy and Whit, Oh, what a tan!
Eager Devin and Taylor with eyes all aglow
Santa’s on his way, a fact they know

Instead of a partridge in a pear tree
And chestnuts roasting on an open fire
There’s Canadian Geese a-honking just for fun
Sadie and Reed sprawled a-toasting in the December sun

Through the years we dream of white Christmas
Jingling and giggling all the way
Tis’ hard to listen for those sleigh bells of sorts
While parading barefooted and decked in Bermuda shorts

Everybody knows a turkey and a spinach casserole go together
Beth and Lynn’s Nintendo adventures leave us laughing all the way
Oh what fun it is with Skywalker, Zelda, and Kirby
Santa is on his way, and maybe travelling with a Furby!

Louise is gonna cry and pout, I’m telling you why
If there’s no salsa for her burritos, oh, my!
If dear Aunt Mary could only have her own way
Red-nosed Rudolph would guide the USS Enterprise instead of a sleigh

Near, far, where ever we are
Growing stronger together both close and afar
We will venture home again for Christmas if the fates allow
So let us hang this shining star upon the highest bough

And have ourselves a merry little christmas….. together

For my family
With all my love
Lynn
