Merry Musings
by Tom DiFrancesca III

’Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house, not a creature was stirring except for an optical computer mouse. For you see, Dad was lazy this year and hadn’t gotten all of his shopping done, so now he’s at froogle.google.com – frantically trying to find a really good deal on a brand new BB-gun.

SANTA SEARCH
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, while anxious little Jimmy typed away on his computer, in his room, upstairs. He had heard that Santa’s location, as he traveled all over North America, could be tracked and thank goodness for the Internet – Jimmy was doing just that. For you see he went to www.noradsanta.org, and he began following the jolly old man, as he began making his trek across the land.

NIFTY NATIVITY
The rest of the children were all nestled snug in their beds, with Jimmy still surfing the Internet, dreaming of a story he’d never forget. For he knew that neither a North Pole legend nor a bevy of gifts, but a baby born to save him, his parents and sis, was what truly made Christmas a time of bliss. A little more surfing and low and behold, the birth of the Babe began to unfold — all by Lego the truth be told!
If you don’t believe me, if you think this is a joke, type in “Lego Nativity” on YouTube.com, you’ll see that it’s the truth that I’ve spoke. Type in the address, give it a try – you’ll see, I’m not telling a lie.

MERRY MUSIC
The work is real hard up north this time of the year, it’s not for the meek, but thanks to the Internet, Santa and his crew have been listening to Christmas music for several weeks. For you see, they hopped on over to www.accuradio.com and clicked on the Christmas music link. The music is totally free, absolutely no advertising and no annoying ads. There is also a lot more than just Christmas music at Accuradio, every musical taste can be satisfied, every scratch can be itched, and remember, the service is free — so you don’t have to be rich.

A KICK FOR KIDS
Back at the house, as the hours wiled away, little Jimmy couldn’t sleep, so on the computer he played. He had gone to www.google.com and performed a quick search on “Christmas games,” and sure enough, he found what he was looking for at a website entitled “Kids Domain.” He eagerly typed in the Internet address of www.kidsdomain.com — and what he found was surely the ultimate bomb. For you see, the website offered games galore – regular ordinary games, and even those that required skills and a great deal more.

LET IT SNOW
When Jimmy became all played out, and was done having fun, he surfed on over to www.weather.com, the best weather site under the sun. For you see, they truly track the weather there 24 hours a day, so Santa can make his travel plans early, so nothing can get in his way. Nothing goes unnoticed, nothing is missed, the predictions are
on target and the data is the best. And, sure enough, as they had earlier predicted snow, and as Jimmy sat at his computer, he heard the wind begin to blow. He quickly ran to his window and he opened it quick, and after hearing a noise on the roof – quickly scanned the sky for traces of St. Nick.
Looking out through the snow and watching it fall, little Jimmy then heard a friendly voice calling out in the night “Merry Christmas to everyone — Merry Christmas to all!”
