- Perhaps the first dream (the one before the bad dream) was
- just that, a dream.

- Fear Not
-
- This is Christmas
- the season of jolly
- cold, maybe snowy
- hopefully home.

- Home. What is home?
- Tis a place for him

- with two little munchkins.

- It has a roof for reindeer.
- A chimny for Santa
- and of course
- its occupants believe.
