First of all I wish all Southenders and theirs a very Merry Christmas. It has been a hard year for a lot of people. Hopefully the holidays will bring some joy back into our lives.
My widowed neighbor loves to make desserts and at the holidays she is busy. She brought a gift bag to us and it had some really good stuff. But the neatest things were 2 boxes of Christmas mice. Fun to look at and very good to eat! Take a peek at one before it got eaten.

Pretty cool Don, and Merry Christmas to you and the rest of the southenders.I know that you have taught your boys as I have with mine. This seemed fitting hope you like it.

A Boy and His Dad
A boy and his dad on a fishing-trip—
There is a glorious fellowship!
Father and son and the open sky
And the white clouds lazily drifting by,
And the laughing stream as it runs along
With the clicking reel like a martial song,
And the father teaching the youngster gay
How to land a fish in the sportsman’s way.

I fancy I hear them talking there
In an open boat, and the speech is fair.
And the boy is learning the ways of men
From the finest man in his youthful ken.
Kings, to the youngster, cannot compare
With the gentle father who’s with him there.
And the greatest mind of the human race
Not for one minute could take his place.

Which is happier, man or boy?
The soul of the father is steeped in joy,
For he’s finding out, to his heart’s delight,
That his son is fit for the future fight.
He is learning the glorious depths of him,
And the thoughts he thinks and his every whim;
And he shall discover, when night comes on,
How close he has grown to his little son.

A boy and his dad on a fishing-trip—
Builders of life’s companionship!
Oh, I envy them, as I see them there
Under the sky in the open air,
For out of the old, old long-ago
Come the summer days that I used to know,
When I learned life’s truths from my father’s lips
As I shared the joy of his fishing-trips.
