I would like to wish everyone a very blessed and merry Christmas

[BlooMoose]

Thank you, Schnerdly. I am glad it's tomorrow...I cry everytime I hear "Little Drummer Boy" for some reason and I'm ready for that to be over! But I can't wait to get together with the whole family and cook and eat and then nap. We have a family tradition of making a birthday cake for Jesus, too. The kids really like that.

Hey! I WENT to that party. It was a bust. No booze. Did you know frankincense and myrh taste like donkey whizz when mixed together? [I know.... the spelling wasn't even CLOSE.]

Besides, some lady brought her baby, and he cried all night long! And the lights were too bright! And then, of course, these 3 know-it-all super truckers showed up and bored even the animals to sleep!

But, hey.... what do you expect from a little town like Belem?? Not exactly party central! :lol2:

Now, don't anyone get pizzed off! I'm just having some fun, and I have permission from the "host." :lol:

Have a great Christmas guys & girls!
Have a good time, but get out alive!

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!

On a positive note it appears that all the malls and shopping centers are packed in Dallas today. It has been that way in all the towns we are passing through so hopefully, hopefully the consumer spending is up and so will be freight!!

A Truckers Christmas Eve
By L. E. Rose

Twas the night before Christmas, and was I flying across the land,
Doing my job, delivering the toys that I had on hand.
When off in the distance, something caught my eye,
A twinkling of lights, that I just couldnt pass by.
No homes sat at this spot, with nothing around
All that lay below was a highway, East and Westward bound.
I yelled to my team and this is what I said,
take us down boys, so I can see whats amber and red

As we got closer, I saw to my delight
It was a customized semi, idling away in the night.
I laid down the reins and stepped out of the sleigh,
I knocked on the drivers door and took a quick step away.
The truck rocked slightly, as the driver moved around,
Then he looked out the window, and at me standing on the ground.
He blinked, then squinted And looked at me with surprise,
Slowly lowering the window as if he couldnt believe his eyes.

Driver I said on this lonely onramp, why are you here?
Instead of at home, enjoying your familys holiday cheer?

Santa he said Im not out here for fun, we all have jobs to do,
But at the end of this run, Ill be home for a day or two.
My family understands why I must be away,
Even on this night, before a special day.
Loads must be delivered, to warehouses far and wide,
Brothers and sisters like me, showing their truckers pride.
We keep this nation running, that, and a whole lot more,
Whether its a mom and pop, or a super box store.
Dont feel sorry for us, criss-crossing the land,
Products got to be delivered, do you understand?

I hung my head and thought awhile, wiping away a tear,
But when I raised my head with a smile, I wished him holiday cheer.
I understood what he said, even though he was all alone,
His heart was with his family, all the way back home.
Men and women just like him, make sacrifices every day,
Rolling down the road, with home many miles away.
He might not see his family for a week or even more,
But he knows that thanks to people like him, theres food in the stores.
I climbed back aboard my sleigh, with a deep and heartfelt sigh
Picking up the reins, I started to wave good-bye.

He called out once more, before I flew away,
Youre the original long hauler Santa, Have a Merry Christmas Day!
