That night through the sky
But time it was short
He had to decide

And so as he flew
Back over the land
A gift for his Lord
Was there in his hand

It was the glow of a light
It was the heart of a song
It was the tear of a child
Where they never belonged
It was the wish of a soul
On an old neon light
And the Lord smiled at him
On that cold winter night

Hear as they ring through the night
Kyrie among nations
Kyrie among nations
Kyrie among nations
Here the bells ring through the night

Kyrie among nations
Kyrie among nations
Kyrie among nations
Hear as they ring through the night

Listen to the bells as they ring
Listen to the message they bring
Listen to the sound
As they sing as one voice in the night

Hoping that we'll all understand
Every dream we have's in our hands
And for every bell
May they ring all through the night

Kyrie among nations
Kyrie among nations
Kyrie among nations
Hear as they ring through the night

Kyrie among nations
Kyrie among nations
Kyrie among nations
Here as they ring through the night

Listen to the bells as they ring
Listen to the message they bring
Listen to the sound as they sing
As one voice in the night

Hoping that we'll all understand
Every dream we have's in our hands
And for every bell
May they ring all through your life

And so with his story over
And our bottle nearly through
I asked, did this really happen?
He swore every word was true

Then he said I see you're puzzled
For your mind tells you to doubt me
That my story can't be true
But your heart tells you, it might be

He then asked, did it entertain me
And I admitted it had charm
Then he said perhaps you have learned something
Or at worst I've done no harm

Then he rose up from his chair
And he said it's time that he should leave
But may God keep and protect you
This and every Christmas Eve

Then he left through the front door
And I ran out to ask him back
But he was already gone
And stranger still he left no tracks

So I walked back to my home
Recalling all I've heard and seen
And for the first time since my childhood
That night I dreamed a Christmas dream

Whatever you are doing this holiday, be it staying in with your family, visiting your spouse or lover or traveling great distances to visit your relatives, be safe and all of you have a very merry Christmas on me. Neverforget the reason for the season, as so many do. It's not about getting presents. It isn't about attempting to find that new hot toy, and it certainly isn't about running over everyone that gets inbetween you and the previously mentioned toy. Whether you believe that hte son of God was born aon this day (or during warmer weather as is commonly believed), the message is the same. If you think more highly of Santa than you do of Christ or the other way arround. If you dislike both of them, the underlying message of Christmas is the same. The season is about love. Know this. Practice this. It isn't just about love of your friends and family. Show courtesy and respect when you are doing hectic last minute shopping tomorrow. Everyone has the same goal in mind and everyone would like it to be as pleasent as possible. Running over one anotehr and all the other stuff htat happens this time a year goes 100% against everythign that Christmas stands for. You would be surprised just how much a simple smile, nod of aknowledgement and 'merry Christmas' can brighten up someones day, so I ask you. Be curteous. Hjave a happy and safe holday season from me and the others that work so hard on From Pong to Eternity as well. Merry Christmas to all. I leave you with some music

Merry Christmas

An angel came down
One night to the earth
A mission from God
To find out the worth

Of everything that
His children had done
Since that winter night
The birth of His son

And then a sound filled the night
In the cold winter air
And in the midst of his flight
It was holding him there

And as he looked toward the earth
For the source of this sound
On that cold winter night
It was pulling him down

To bring something back
This angel was told
That no one could touch
But angels could hold

So on that night
When the sky had cleared
Among all the stars
An angel appeared

And then a sound filled the night
In the cold winter air
And in the midst of his flight
It was holding him there

And as he looked towards the earth
For the source of this sound
On that cold winter night
It was pulling him down
