Wish you all peace on earth, good will to men.
Take a moment this season to remember all those who answered the finale call.

Well this isnt going to be a gripe post i am going to say something that is from the heart. I spent the 22nd and 23rd listening to the new hire cry babies crying that they might haft to work christmas for the railroad. that they was going to mark off sick. all the back stabing that was going on when the senore guys have the right to be off. So after the death of loved ones this year and thinking of those others that are spending there first years with out their loved ones. I came to the conclusion that the people i am thankful to are the hospital staff at any hospital, they dont like it working the holidays but they haft to that is their job. police officers who are keeping the peace in a season that should be filled with love but in many cases heart ache and crime. firemen that are waiting to save what you have the road crews out cleaning the roads so you can get there. ambulance drivers emts . get the picture. even railroaders and truckers airline pilots .... all these people give up their lifes (sometime reluctantly,) so you can have yours. may i say to all of those poeple who gave up their holidays so i could have mine. THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART. may god bless. If you really want to have a merry christmas. just go up to one of these people and tell them how much you appreciate what they do on the holidays and watch the smile come on their face. you feel differant about things when you are appreciated. excuse my spelling but i think i got the point across.

May God please bless us all, and not just at Chritmas or Holiday time, because we certainly need it, one and all.
