You see no parcels 'neath my Christmas tree, no shiny paper, bows on ribbons bright, take not this sight to mean that there won't be presents bestowed upon this Christmas night. For God has left me gifts you cannot see, compassion, mercy, kindness, friendship true, a generous heart, support and sympathy and guidance in whatever I may do. What love is this that covers my bare floor, is my unworthiness rewarded thus? These gifts are all I need, and nothing more freely available to all of us. Each year, each day they come, and without end, these gifts from God delivered by my friends.

Bravo Mr Viv the gifts you describe are priceless and there is one more gift you didn't have - the gift of our health . If you want to see some extreme 'manx madness' read this ! she's definitely getting publicity! :-( hugs jan xx http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/showbiz-tv/morning-viewers-blast-ridiculous-mum-14036240

Ah, but Jan, everyone gets an unwanted gift at some point. Like haemorrhoids, for example. Viv x
