Bless you, Miss Dot, for posting a real neighborly and truly inspirational message.  It is particularly nice since it is the meaningful and likeable A-B-Cz of Christmas.  Oh, my, what a holiday delight.  You will not be surprised that my favorite letter is "M" for Mary.  He-he.  You deserve a special holiday mug of coffee and an extra piece of cherry cake topped with cherry ice cream with a kiss.

Blessings,
The other Mary

P.S.  It's so sad that none of the other Playerz share our spirit of Christmas particularly since it relates to the A-B-Cz.  With over 82 years under my silk belt, as of 1983 nothing surprises Mrs. Twist anymore.
