Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah, have a great Festivus (for the rest of us), and have a wonderful Gratefulus day!
Yes Chanukah started six days ago, if you follow me on social media you read my well wishes. I thought I would share once more how my family celebrates the holidays, just because it’s fun and I found it easier to write the tale down so I can reshare it every year. (This year I got to add some new people to the comic :) YAY I love getting new family)
I was asked by the site host for BMJ2K to write a guest post for his blog (thanks for the thought Barry) and I found myself wondering what to blog about. I skipped anything I had an idea for that involved New York because Barry writes the New York Minute and I didn’t want to step on any toes. Next I tried to not write anything that would normally show up on either his or my blog, again, to do something different. Then, I was inspired by the holidays, and more importantly new and made up holidays. Enjoy, I hope you like my out there ramble :)
Skinner Co. who produce Flash Pulp got their crew to do a recording for us for this day.
I plan to put a full Nutty Border Crossing on this topic but haven’t recorded all of the audio yet.
IN FLANDERS FIELDS POEM By Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae
In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place: and in the sky The larks still bravely singing fly Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead: Short days ago, We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved: and now we lie In Flanders fields!
Take up our quarrel with the foe To you, from failing hands, we throw The torch: be yours to hold it high If ye break faith with us who die, We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields
