Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.

The Mysteries of the No Named Elf :
The Lost Candy
One upon a time there was a…
Wait a minute. Haven’t we heard this before? Let me rephrase that…
Once, well more like last year, there was an elf that lived on a shelf. Now you are probably wondering what the elf’s name is, well that’s a problem. This is because the elf had no name. It was known only as the elf on the shelf or just elf. I would tell you why this elf had no name, but to tell the truth I don’t have a clue. I guess the kids just never named him. Though you would think this to be troublesome for the little elf, but it was not. He actually lived a decent life, had friends or a friend I should say, and had a good home, more like a shelf. Okay so the elf was a little lonely, but the kids loved him, this was the only thing that mattered to him. This made it not matter that the teddy bears would mock him and call him rude names like ‘No Namer’ and ‘Fameless Nameless’. He didn’t care about that. He only cared for the kids. They would wake up in the morning and look throughout the house to find him. Then when they got home from school they would look once again. Then right before bed they would say good night to him. If only he knew what would happen if it all came to an end…
It all started when the children came home with important information.
“Mommy! Mommy!” the little girl yelled
“Daddy! Daddy!” the little boy shouted
“Guess what we learned today!” they both proclaimed simultaneously
“What did you two learn today?” their mother asked joyfully
“We learned that if you leave a letter in your shoe for Santa then he will come and get it and leave candy in your shoe!” the little girl answered cheerfully
“Yeah and we want to write letters so we can get candy!” announced the little boy
“Okay then let’s go write some letters to Santa.” said their father
So off they went to write to letters. Once they were done the parents put to letters in the shoes while to little ones fell asleep. Then, while they dreamed of sugar plum fairies and Lemon heads, Santa snuck down to chimney and to the shoes with a sack full of candy. He took to notes and left the candy. When to children woke the next morning they ran to their shoes and saw the mountain of candy they jumped for joy. They couldn’t believe that it had worked. So they did that every night after that. And while all this went on at night the elf was asleep. Tilted in the shelf he had no idea what would happen next…
When to children woke on the morning of the fifth day they ran to their snow boots and sparkly slippers to find that the candy was gone. The shoes were as barren as a desert. They turned to their parents who pointed their fingers to none other than the elf on the shelf. The kids took it lightly and didn’t get mad. They thought to themselves ‘he was just hungry and forgot to save some.’ So they forgot all about it. Then the next night the same thing happened. Now the kids got mad and no longer liked the elf. The parents finally said “Okay, if the elf steals the candy again then we will put him in storage.” When the elf heard this his little heart sank. It shattered and crack. He said to himself “I must find the thief and bring him to justice.” So He made a plan. He would look, of course, around the house while everyone was gone.
That day he started his search. First he looked by the shoes. Nothing. Then under the tree. Nothing. Then the kitchen. Nothing. Finally he was going to give up when he saw it. He saw it in the doggy door. He found the first clue. A candy wrapper. It was lodged in the bottom right corner and dangled on one side. He looked through the door and saw nothing other than the road, the festive houses beyond it, and a trail of wrappers. So he tucked his head back through the door and looked for the dog, which was gone too. So he grabbed his only friend Dusty, who was a mute dust bunny who was only made of the dust and fuzz that you find under the couch with two pennies for eyes, and told him what was going on.
Once Dusty got the gist of it they headed out the doggie door and followed the trail of candy wrappers. Seeing where to trail lead they prepared to cross the dreaded-black-top road. Then when they got there a car zipped past. This made them very nervous and they both looked at each other.
“Are you ready to so this Dusty?”
“…”
“Ready?”
“…”
“Okay. One. Two. Three!”
Then they ran. They sprinted so fast that a roadrunner passing would have stopped, thinking that they would run right into him. Once they got to the other side they stopped to finally catch their breath. Then they followed the trail once more, which lead to the house right across the street from their own. They gapped at the house and wondered why the wrappers lead to this house. The house of the mean little girl that stole toys from the other little kids on the block. Then they saw the doggie door leading into the house and saw the other wrapper lodged into its corner just like the other one it their own. So they climbed through the door and looked around. Finally they heard something. They heard the dog bark and the little girl laugh. It was coming from the kitchen. They walked in and saw the doge giving the girl a bucket if candy. He had finally found the thief.
They ran back home and got into their spots. They were about to stop the thief and show the family that he was innocent. The plan was to tie the mongrel up with the bucket filled with the empty wrappers. Then when the family got home they would see the evidence and he would be saved.
The dog came in the door and we nabbed him. We tied the rope onto its collar and tied the pooch to the shelf by the shoes. They only had a moment before the family would come in. So the elf hoped up on the shelf and Dusty sat under the couch. Then they came in. The kids saw the wrappers and gasped. The parents saw the dog tied up and wondered what had happened. The family realized that the dog was taking the candy and that the elf was innocent. So I guess you can say that they lived happily ever after. Well for now anyway.
The End
Another Single Lady's Chirstmas
Do you ever wonder why the mistletoe gets hung where you walk, and there is nothing but the walk to kiss? Do you ever wonder why the world shows us theses happy ice skating couples that just mock us. Do you ever...
Well raise your glass to the single ladies who are still looking for love and looking forward to another single lady's Christmas.
If only she knew how we feel right now. Then she could sing us another song that makes us feel better about our status in the status quo.

The Dark...
I heard this song on the radio today (video at the bottom) and it got me thinking. Why are some of us afraid of the dark? I have a friend who once, well more like twice, told me that people aren't afraid of the dark. They are just scared of whats in it. I think of it like this...
"We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light." -Plato

Fancy Grape and Mr. Turtle
Once upon a time in a magical kitchen there lived a fancy grape and she was the nicest grape you have ever seen. She welcomed all the new foods in the fridge and would even help them move in. She couldn't wait to get up it the morning to go and see all the new friends that she could make. Then one day a turtle walked in to the kitchen. Every one closed there doors and peeked through there windows to see what was going on and who this stranger was. Fancy Grape being who she was (nice, kind, and sweet) decided to go and say 'hello'. When she walked over to the turtle she noticed how slow he was. She wondered why he was so slow, but didn't want to be rude so she kept her thoughts to herself. Then finally she said hi...
"Hello Mr. Turtle!"
"Hello Ms. Fancy Grape. How are you?"
"Good. How are you today Mr. Turtle?"
"Oh, just fine. Just fine."
"Where are headed on this fine day?"
"Oh, just over to Mrs. Chocolate Chips for some cookies that she made me."
"Can I tag along?"
"Why yes you can. I could always use some company. I travel my days alone most of the time now. Don't know why. I just know that when I come people shut there doors and only peek out the window to see what I'm doing and which way I'm headed."
"Well that is strange. I wonder why they do that."
"It might be because I am new to the area and because I'm not a kind of food like the rest of you folk. They might think that I'm gonna eat them. Which I would never. Ever. All I eat are Mrs. Chocolate Chip's carrot and soy cookies."
"Maybe I can help with that. You go ahead and once you pick up your cookies meet me at the counter and we will fix all of this.
"Why thank you Fancy Grape you are such a good friend."
Once Mr. Turtle started heading toward Mrs. Chocolate Chip's house Fancy Grape turned and started heading for the town in the fridge. Once she got there she told every one to come to the counter for a town meeting. Only minutes after they got there Mr. Turtle showed up. You could tell that some of the town's food was scared because the shook like branched blowing in a storm. Fancy Grape called to Mr. Turtle to come over and once he finally got over to her she told everyone how nice Mr. Turtle was and how that all he ate was Mrs. Chocolate Chip's carrot and soy cookies. Once she was done Every one looked around at one another, then they cheered. After that no one ever hid when he came around and they even made him cookies.

And That my friends is the end if another Fancy Grape story
The End
The House
I walk into a home with a welcome mat on the front porch. The door is canvassed in modern holiday decor and the sent of fresh pine and spiced cinnamon cookies filled my nose with a warm joyful sent that raps my whole body in a delightful hug of comfort. I hear the Carol of the Bells ringing in the living room. The sizzle of cooking food hums in my ear. I sit down on the white leather couch admiring the space. I look up and see the brilliant chandler hanging in the middle of the large room. It had three layers to it and dangling about one to two inches below each tier were little clear gold colored crystals that shown like yellow diamonds. Though you would think that if you tried to walk under the thing you would hit your head, but the ceiling was so high up that not even a giant could reach it. I looked at the floor and saw, instead of a normal dark mahogany hardwood flooring that you would expect to see in this manner of a home, a square tile patterning of pure ivory carpet and midnight African Blackwood. The walls were painted black and white, black being what you saw in front and in behind you when sitting on the couch and white at your sides. The ceiling was black sponge painted with white tips. You probably don't believe me when you read want I am writing right now, but this as true as the beating of both of our hearts right now as you read this. As I was saying though, in the middle of the room stood a small adman that looked like a stout little zebra painted in a rustic gold color with a striped blanket over the abdomen.
As I admired the small figure in the room, I realized that there were more majestic rooms in this house. So I stood up and walked into the next room with great admiration. of the design of the room. The walls were covered in red climbing roses vines and that walls were painted a deep dark green that seemed to come for only the royalists of colors. The floors were covered in a beautiful grass green shag carpet. In the center of the room was a cherry oak dinning table with thorny, rose carvings. Surrounding the table were matching chairs...

The Fancy Grape and Mrs. Chocolate Chip
Once upon a time there was a magical kitchen. And in the kitchen there lived a Fancy Grape and a Mrs. Chocolate Chip. One day Fancy Grape, being the nicest grape in all of the kitchen, she decided to go and say hello to old Mrs. Chocolate Chip. So she walked over to her house and knocked on the door. When Mrs. Chocolate Chip opened the door she said "Now what on this counter top do you want?" and Fancy Grape said "Well I just wanted to come and say "'Hello' to you on this great day." But Mrs. Chocolate Chip was in a very bad mood that day and said "I do not want a hello from anyone today and it is not a great day it is a very glum day for me because I want to make sugar cookies but I am out of sugar." So Fancy Grape said "Well why don't you go to the store and get some?" And Mrs. Chocolate Chip replied very angrily "Well the nearest store is five blocks of cheese away and I can't walk that far. Also I am very sleepy and it is too hot out for me to walk there even if i could walk that far." So Fancy Grape got the idea to go to the store for Mrs. Chocolate Chip and get her the sugar that she needs. So she asked her what kind of sugar she needed and Mrs. Chocolate Chip said that she needed some chocolate sugar for her special chocolate sugar cookies. So Fancy Grape went to the store to get the sugar that Mrs. Chocolate Chip needed for her cookies. When she got back to the house and gave the sugar to her and she said, "Thank you for the sugar. Now leave so I can make my cookies.
The next day Fancy Grape went back to Mrs. Chocolate Chip and asked if the cookies were done and Mrs. Chocolate Chip and she said "I have no more cookies because I ate them all." Then she slammed the door and walked away but as she was Fancy Grape said "Well do you want me to get you more sugar?" and Mrs. Chocolate Chip said "Well go ahead but I don't want you coming back and waking me from my nap so just leave it on the porch step." So Fancy Grape did as he was told and left the new bag of chocolate sugar on the porch step. But little did she know that Mrs. Chocolate Chip had tricked her. She would wait by the door until Fancy Grape got there and then finally wait till she left. She would then take the sugar and make her cookies. Eating them all again. But since The Fancy Grape knew of no such trickery she kept on doing so. Everyday she would go to the store and get what Mrs. Chocolate Chip needed for her cookies.
Though she noticed that Mrs. Chocolate Chip was getting bigger and bigger with every bag of sugar, till one day Mrs. Chocolate Chip could not fit in her house. So the next day she got Mrs. Chocolate Chip a special bag of carrot sugar. Then she noticed that Mrs. Chocolate Chip was smaller. Then for the next week she did the same, giving Mrs. Chocolate Chip carrot sugar instead of chocolate sugar. Till finally one day Mrs. Chocolate Chip was back to her normal size and on that day Fancy Grape knocked on the door "waking" Mrs. Chocolate Chip and then she said to her " Mrs. Chocolate Chip you need to eat more healthier. You don't want to have to move out of your house because you out grew it again. So next time can you make a batch of granola bar and maybe share them with me?" Then Mrs. Chocolate Chip looked at her and said "Yes I will and thank you for helping me even when I was so mean to you."
The next day Fancy Grape went back to Mrs. Chocolate Chip and asked if the cookies were done and Mrs. Chocolate Chip and she said "I have no more cookies because I ate them all." Then she slammed the door and walked away but as she was Fancy Grape said "Well do you want me to get you more sugar?" and Mrs. Chocolate Chip said "Well go ahead but I don't want you coming back and waking me from my nap so just leave it on the porch step."

The Pirate Ship That I Rode!!!⛵
I rode on a pirate ship,
But it was like no other.
It was big...
No,
Oh no it was HUGE..,
And orange.
It had so many levels and rooms...
Like a video game.
But it wasn't just the ship that amazed me,
Because when I looked out over the water...
It was green!
Not like the other pictures that you see,
Where the water is blue.
But what made my head spin...
Was the name of it!
Because most pirate ships have scary names...
Like Sea Hag, or Black Death.
No
No
No
It was named...

The Fancy Grape and The Unwanted Key (part 1)
Once upon a five minutes ago I was a normal grape. You know the kind that socialize with their bunch of companions and get mocked horribly by the previously opened can of peas. That "normal life" sort of speak. But now I have a whole nother problem, all because of a small filthy little key that I found under an old stale cracker on the floor.
It all started with me getting to the floor which is a great mystery, because I haven't the slightest idea of how I got there. I seem to have just walk off and fell off the counter. But this key of sorts is my biggest problem of any because there is no lock in sight that is neither small enough nor big enough for this rubbish little key. I don't have a clue what to do with something of this sort. 'Should I leave it or not?' That is the defining question that is dangling in my mind. It seems that the answer is placed right in front of my very round and chubby face but it some how eludes me to the very point of madness. 'Am I really going crazy over this puny impure key?' I had to ask my self this in order to regain some sort of sanity. I sit and think about what to do with this key and I decided that...

Some may say that a fish has neither woes nor worries. Pets, you may say, have it the best. Though you may be wrong…
SPLASH!!!
I started to awaken from the blow of hitting the water. It felt as though I fell on the hard, stone cold, sidewalk material you people know as concrete, instead of the soft, clear liquid that I had called home all my life. I looked back at my silky tail to see if it was still there and when did I saw that it was indeed there, along with the unchangeable, defaced, stubborn scars. But there was nothing and no one else. I was not with the others that I had known for so long. I was alone. In a prison that was deserted other than me.
Like any inmate that I knew, and for your information yes I was in to doghouse for sometime but I would not like to say why because I am not proudest of it. Any way, any good, and I stress GOOD, inmate would know that there is always a way out. So I ran as fast as I could until…
THUMP!
Bouncing of the glass, I shook it off, and charged again.
Then again, and again. Then once more, because I was only so desperate. I probably hit every spot of transparency on that invisible wall. Finally giving up, I took a nap. I figured that if I slept I could lose the pounding head ache and regain some strength, along with some dignity.
When I came to I looked around. I saw the baby blue sky, the growing green trees, and the birds. Oh the birds, how I envy them. Then I got up and thought about flying. I thought about trying to fly but soon changed my mind because I remembered Jimmy, rest in peace my good old friend. So I just started swimming around. I think I made about twelve laps around that cell before I just got bored. So I started talking to the rocks that I soon came to know as Rocky.
“Hello Rocky!”
“…”
“How’s the weather down there?”
“…”
“Are you shunning me?”
“…”
“Me, your only friend in this place! You are shunning ME!”
“…”
“Well I hate you too. Now I am shunning you.”
“…”
“Starting now.”
Since Rocky was so obviously ignoring me, I decided to talk to Sherlock, the seaweed.
“Hi buddy!”
“…”
“Not you too,” …
And so it went on until I was bored with that, so I blew bubbles. Which wasn’t much better. So I slept some more. Then…
SPLASH!!!
Then there came another. She was the kind of fish that others would want only for her beauty. Her scales shimmered in the gleaming sun and her tail flowed behind her like limp butterfly wings.
“Hello?”
“What? What? What do you want?” I said hiding behind Sherlock. I could not stand the thought of her seeing me with the scars of my past life.
“Where am I”
“A better question is, what is your name?”
“Bonnie, Bonnie the goldfish”
“Clyde, Clyde Goldfish”
“How do you do? And can you tell me where I am?”
“A fishbowl. An ugly, boring, with nothing to do fish bowl. So make yourself at home because we’re gonna be here awhile,” I told her with the most serious face I could put on.
“Well is there a way out?”
“No”
“Not one spot you haven’t tried?”
“No”
“But isn’t there…”
“Stop asking questions!” I yelled. And I mean yelled. It felt like an earthquake because of the vibrations hitting the inside of the bowl.
It was quiet again.
Days past and we didn’t speak. I swam circles and she would take a deep breath, then go to the surface to look around. She would talk to herself at times but that was it. One day though, things got strange.
I soon learned that our “owner” was a scientist, like the ones in the movies that are complete psychos. He studied all different types of things, but recently he was interested in the domesticated goldfish. One day, though, he put a weird tube in our bowl. The tube was connected to a tank that said TOXIC on it. He turned the knob on the tank and started taking notes. I felt a little tired and fell asleep.
When I woke up I felt dizzy and I could see that Bonnie was bumping repeatedly into the wall. I soon started laughing uncontrollably.
It turns out the doc put a strange poison in our bowl to see what the effects were on fish. So I was a guinea pig for life.
We died three days later from what you might say was “an uncontrollable OD". The psycho that killed us is still on he loose and killing more fish like us. So that was my life. In a fishbowl. I lived with a beauty of gold and did nothing for it.My only hope is that who ever reads this will do other wise, because when you have something, as I did, you don't want to set them free.

I'm a...
I awoke in a peculiar place. If you knew what I was you wouldn't be so surprised. That is because I'm a hermit, a homeless person, a refuge to society. Its the norm to wake in an unexpected place, but this time it was a different story. You see I awoke in a breadbox. I awoke in a house wife's best friend when it comes to the fluffy and sometimes even doughy baked object that can cost five to ten bucks, depending on the location. Yes, a breadbox. I looked around trying to find a way out but the dumb thing was shout, closed for business, and out of order. The sound of a fork dropping and the sharpening of knives made me jump back three inches. Which in my case is a lot. Then the heavenly smell of dark chocolate taunted my nose. It made me want to chew a hole in the box so I could get out, but that was not an option. I couldn't let the humans see me or I would be dead. So I just sat there waiting for the box to open so I could make my escape, but nothing happened. Oh and by the way I forgot to tell you. I'm a door mouse.
The Escape
Alright here is the story of my escape...
I was getting to old to stay in my house alone after my loving husband passed. I was to blind to see anything and I wouldn't be able to hear a bomb go of even if I wanted to, or at least that is what the doctors said. I felt like I was still fifty-five. At the time I was eighty, but still had some youth left in me. I felt like I could run a marathon. I could see better without my glasses and could hear just fine. But the doc wouldn't have any of it. He said "At your age you need to be in a nursing house. Then that way there will always be someone there to help you and your family can come and see you any time." But I know that it was all rubbish. He wasn't even a real doctor. My daughter found him online. Bless that child, she is so loving but she is down right dumb. There weren't any certificates on the wall or anything. But what he said goes. So that is how I wound up here.
My escape stated on a day like any other. I ate my bland mush and went talk with the other seniors. We would sit and talk all day about how to get out of here. Until that morning when I hatched up the prefect plan. I told the others and they were up for it. You see when you are in an elderly home no one come to see you, and I mean no one. So you get very lonely and bored. The next day we executed the plan.
It started with making Big Mo, the clumsiest person there fall. That would get all the nurses and even the directer distracted, while we snuck out. It all worked just fine until the director turned around to see us taking a hike. Once I knew that she saw us I ran. Oh boy, did I run. I ran up that hill as fast as I could. The director got so mad that her face turned red and started screaming orders at every one. She yell for one of the nurses and told her to go and get me. But I was already half way up the hill before she even came out the door. But boy, once she saw me she ran as fast as she could trying to catch up to me. I was almost to the top when she finally caught me and I was mad. I was so close to freedom that I could almost taste it. She dragged me back to the home and called my family to tell them what happened. So they came to see me and I told them the truth and that I hated it there. So they brought me home with them and I never had to see that horrible place any more.

I was almost to the top when she finally caught me and I was mad. I was so close to freedom that I could almost taste it. She dragged me back to the home and called my family to tell them what happened. So they came to see me and I told them the truth and that I hated it there. So they brought me home with them and I never had to see that horrible place any more.
The End

Belief 🙏
Some one once ask me way we believe in things like religion. And this is what I said..
It is a glimmer of hope in the darkened days of our sometimes lonely lives.
Spares us from the truth of humanity that scares us half to death.
And helps us make it through the day without going completely mad.
