Hello friend,

Yep, we're still hanging in there...
How about you?



We made it through Christmas,
And now...
We're getting ready for the New Year.
We've gathered up a few things
To help us celebrate...

A few candles, a bottle of sprite,
And a bucket of ice, to chill it just right.
A couple of champagne glasses,
a warm place to cuddle up,
And an alarm clock set for midnight.
Oh, what a night...
To turn out the lights!

Just the two of us, 
Where can we be found?
At home together safe and sound...
With the one that will always be around.
We'll watch a really good movie, 
That we both think is just groovy.

And until the stroke of midnight...
we'll kick back and relax.
For it's our time...
and it doesn't cost a dime.

For all we need is each other,
And a little time together.
For there's no other...
That makes my heart flutter...
Like when we're together...
And we talk of good friends,
That brings us so much joy.



So, my friend,
With thoughts of you 
Running through our minds...
We just had to take this time...
Before we turn out the lights.

To wish you and yours a very, very
Happy New Year!! 



We hope you will take some time...
to kick back and relax...
With that special someone too!



Until we write again...
Remember...
We're thinking of you... 
In this year of two thousand three.
And in the days ahead, 
Whenever we're free...
And not asleep.
We'll write more...
In two thousand four.



P.S.
The day has been so long...
And now I must say,
It's nap time.

Until next year...
Sweet dreams, 
My friend.
