No names at the end of your poem - in my last contest you had your names on it - it is not allowed as per a recent rule imposed by soup:_( hugs Jan xx

Don't understand no name rule. Is that to say using any body's name in your poems Kevin

I have nothing to smile about at PS Seren. I will continue to write but the heart of the community is being ripped to shreds and TPS simply will not listen to concerns :-( Have a wonderful Christmas and a good New year... and in Manx - Nollick Ghennal as Blein Vie Noa:-) hugs Jan xx

Most definitely Michael sadly last Christmas was so traumatic for us as my sons two friends (brothers of 19 and 20) had died in tragic circumstances and my dad was dying of terminal cancer - it will not be easy for us this year but to be together as a family is the best gift possible:-) hugs Jan xx

Yes, it is such a pleasure to have our children near. Have a wonderful holiday and enjoy.

The joy is all mine Frederic my son was unsure if he was coming home as he has major assignments and exams coming up and he is very focused on his studies:-) He is home but busy studying at the moment but at least we will be together for a few days until he goes back before New Year:-) hugs Jan xx
