COT: Remembering my dad who shares a birthday with me and passed away in 2017. One of his lessons to me was to challenge my perspective, my assumptions. Always try to see things from other perspectives. Challenge your viewpoint. Are you seeing things as God intended? Or do our selfish desires get in the way?

Bonus: Lots of easy listening when I was born: James Taylor, the Carpenters. Still some Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath in there, too though. :sign_of_the_horns:

Twas the morn of the exchange, and all through the Asylum,
Not a wise man was punctual—some lacked all sense of time.
The gifts were arranged ‘neath a streetlamp’s dim glow,
For a Coolio tradition, as old as they know.

The numbers were drawn—one to thirty, they’d say,
Though only twenty-four came to join in the fray.
First up was Gibbler, so proud in his pick,
Unaware that his treasure was stolen too quick.

Then Rainbow, so cunning, with a sly little grin,
Did swipe Gibbler’s bounty, but soon rued his sin.
For a punishment loomed—a quest in the night,
Up the Asylum’s dark peak, to retrieve the key’s light.

With red-striped candy cane, his journey was done,
And Rainbow returned to his rightful won.
Yet silence soon followed; none dared to steal,
Till Waffle House rose, for a change in the deal.

Adventures were plenty, with laughter and glee,
And Patty Melt crowned, with a horned jubilee.
But as time grew scarce, the Q took his stand,
BOM delivered, both heartfelt and grand.
With carols sung sweetly—“Hark! Herald Angels!” rang clear,
The story of Christmas resounded sincere.
A prayer of thanksgiving for Christ, Heaven’s Light,
“Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!”
