Take a moment to remember those you have lost along the way, and, let them know you thought of them this Christmas Eve day

Ever since the Christmas of '53, I have felt that the yuletide is a special hell for those families who have suffered any loss or who must admit to any imperfection; the so-called spirit of giving can be as greedy as receiving--Christmas is our time to be aware of what we lack, of who's not home.

It's obviously tough to get back into the groove again after a tough loss and (Christmas) holidays. We've been throwing rocks for a week now, trying to get back into the mood for playing and, once we get out there in front of the fans and a good atmosphere here, it will get the juices going and we'll try to do our best.

And so, this Christmas season may our hearts with gladness glow, As we read the blessed story That took place so long ago.

It is Christmas in the heart that puts Christmas in the air.

Christmas is, of course, the time to be home - in heart as well as body."
