So here we are, it's Christmas day , No work, no jobs and yes no pay. Some went off to war and to die.

Sleigh Bells Ring are you listening, Here Comes Santa Claus, Joy to the World. And the delightful tunes go on and on.

The sleet-laden snow tapped lightly on my window as I lay snuggly warm under my electric blanket.

You will most likely not serve. Yes,
if you receive a summons, it does not necessarily mean you will serve.

Judi Lake (1,875) 
Judi Lake

It's funny how one's self-image tends to stay frozen in time.
