A Four-Year -Old's Christmas Truth Byrd Woodward
My cousin Butch told me yesterday On Christmas Eve when I'm in my bed
There ain't any Santy Claus; Just before I fall asleep,
He laughed and said it's only Grandpa. I hear reindeer paws up on our house,
I know that ain't true because, Right where the roof is real steep!
If they wasn't magic, they'd fall off There wouldn't be oranges for me to
An' crash right by my window. Find in the toe of my sock.
An' Christmas Day when I got up, I'd No new dress for my birthday doll or
See a sleigh wrecked in the snow! Peppermints hard as a rock.
The star wouldn't be up on the tree, One more reason I'm goin' to be
No tiny Baby asleep. Tellin' 'Ol Santy thank you.
No Mary inblue with her Joseph, I just asked my own Mama and Pa,
No sheep herders with their sheep. And they both told me it's true!
( So there, Butch! )

I would personally like to thank Joyce Marshall Snr, Frank Bradbury, Paula Vessey, Fred Butt, Julie Eadie, Susan Newborough & anyone else who delivers this newsletter each month come sun, rain & snow for all their help.
Christmas is the hardest time for family's who have lost a loved one during the year or have someone they love suffering, so spare a thought & prayer for all those around us who will find it hard the Christmas. In our own community, Ann Richardson for Tommy, Peter, Lisa & children for Jan, Byron for Marjorie, and for my family for my Nana, Tim's Dad Roger & and that my Dad Ron will make it through.
On a happier note we have a few new people in the village this year and hope they enjoy their new homes in Fulstow this Christmas, come down to the Cross Keys on Christmas lunch and have a drink with everyone, after all you moved to a village so get to know your neighbours (only those that dribble & twitch bite!)

Valentines Ball Sorry all sold out for both nights this coming February , if you have booked a table
Please contact Nicky Pike mid January for menu choices.
As the Valentine Ball was started as an excuse for me too have a birthday party! No seriously, as it has become so popular, and we can't do more than 2 nights each year, how do you all fancy a mid summer MASKED ball
Need some feed back on this as time is short for booking a band etc 363405
Happy Birthdays to
Bethany 10, Jo , Karen
Last but not least Weather Lore
If New Year's Eve night-wind blows south
It betokenth warmth and growth;
If west, much milk, and fish in the sea;
If north, cold and storms there will be;
If east, the tree will bear much fruit;
If north-east, flee it, man and brute!
A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR
