Thanks you two !

We used to have quite a thread going for Christmas greetings didn't we ? What's the matter with folks ? My thread has just disappeared off the front page ! It has only had you two adding posts. I think it must be that we have lost a lot of the cheery posters, the ones who indulged in what some stiff-upper-lip members called fluffy threads ! :rolleyes: I almost despair, Forum Garden should also have cheerful threads. I have noticed that Smaug introduced a Weird and Wacky thread, but he seems to have gone for a break. I enjoyed that thread, it was a bit different and had some amazing posts, videos and pics. I hope he will come back very soon, as Forum Garden needs that sort of thread. I try to have a light thread with my Friendly Cafe, but it isn't all that busy with different posters. I suppose it's just a sign of the times, and also that the regular posters on Forum Garden have dwindled in numbers and it is rather sad. I hope FG can survive and increase their active members.

You have a choice of Dickens or Isaac Watts.

Easy, really.No more let sins and sorrows grow,

Nor thorns infest the ground;

He comes to make His blessings flow

Far as the curse is found,

Far as the curse is found,

Far as, far as, the curse is found.

I rather like Isaac Watts.

I wear the chain I forged in life. I made it link by link, and yard by yard; I girded it on of my own free will, and of my own free will I wear it.

And much good it's doing me, if I may make so bold.

My face Iâ€™ll grime with filth,

Blanket my loins, elf all my hair in knots,

And with presented nakedness outface

The winds and persecutions of the sky.

Merry Christmas one and all.

Isaac Watts - a local lad here. I've even performed in his church in the Avenue.

I never heard it said like that before, but that says it doesn't it? :-6

So for all FG members--what Bruv said! :yh_party
