The upside down world
Is imagination not a most wonderful thing? I so love fairy tales with happy endings. So too the stories of selflessness, kindness and the strength of will of the heroes in the heart wrenching, touching, daring, dramatical and swash buckling adventures, filled with imaginary fabled debonair gents and chic ladies.

Santa who?
First and foremost, the place where my origins began did not have the luxury of a lovely table spread with tantalizing aromatic, colorful and mouth watering varying conglomeration of foods. If luck favored us and funds allowed, we may have a whole chicken, not just some parts, cooked for the seven, eight, nine or whatever number of mouths that needed feeding at the time. It all depended on whether or not a few extra mouths had been rescued by my mother. She was known for her warmth and kindness. Most homes however, had a back yard garden, so we were able to supplement the lack of meat with home grown vegetables. There was no Christmas tree though, no decking the halls with holly, no caroling or even opening of gifts. We got up early on Christmas morn, ate breakfast, went to church and came home to a warm simple but well balanced delicious meal.

An Invitation from beyond?
I know that boxes cannot fly. I must be dreaming. Be it dream or reality, this box was flying towards me, tiny propellers beneath outstretched wings. I ran, but it chased me, caught up to me, and.........................,bang, bang, bang. Loud knocking?

The magic of the seahorse
It was Christmas eve. The world of holiday cheer was alive indeed in the air. Everywhere you looked bells were jingling, Rudolph the red nosed reindeer was flying here and there, and elves peeked from behind many a window. Christmas lights dazzled the eyes, fires burned within the hearths, hearts were singing lively carols and happiness, good cheer and eggnog were brewing within the cozy houses.
