Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, whatever you celebrate at this time of year....I wish you all the best, warmth in front of a crackling fireplace, children playing in the snow, delectable smells coming from the kitchen, and family all around. May your days be merry and bright. My very best wishes to all my wonderful MK friends, who saw me through so much this year. I will never forget your kindnesses.

Happy Christmas to you too Jacki, and of course ALL forum Knopflerados everywhere.
Jacki. I hope next year brings you much joy and happiness. You sure do deserve it. :)
Next year is going to be a Knopfler year to remember with yet another tour. I'm sure it will live up to all of our expectations.
Seasons greetings to everyone and a very happy new year.
Btw. Can't wait for Alchemy on Dvd. ;D ;D ;D ;D
Cheers BBB

Season's greetings to my all forum buddies (and especially Jacki who's opened the thread).
2010 is going to be a great musical year: a new MK tour, a new GF album, I'm gonna see John Hiatt live and he's got a new album in the works. Niiiice!!!
2010 is also the year I will turn thirty-ten! Will I have to act grown up now? ;D
-
Nat, My son, Nick, is thirty-ten in 2010 too! That's a really sobering thought! :o No you don't have to act grown-up, that's much too boring! Just stay a crazy Knopflerado! ;D

For those of you who like to read poems, I have here a beautiful one! ;D
A few years ago I got this Christmas poem from one of my friends. It was written by a Marine stationed in Okinawa Japan.
I would like to share with all of you too, because I think it is a beautiful poem!
Christmas Poem
"T was The Night Before Christmas,
He Lived All Alone,
In A One Bedroom House
Made Of Plaster And Stone.
I Had Come Down The Chimney
With Presents To Give,
And To See Just Who
In This Home Did Live.
I Looked All About,
A Strange Sight I Did See,
No Tinsel, No Presents,
Not Even A Tree.
No Stocking By Mantle,
Just Boots Filled With Sand,
On The Wall Hung Pictures
Of Far Distant Lands.
With Medals And Badges,
Awards Of All Kinds,
A Sober Thought
Came Through My Mind.
For This House Was Different,
It Was Dark And Dreary,
I Found The Home Of A Soldier,
Once I Could See Clearly.
The Soldier Lay Sleeping,
Silent, Alone,
Curled Up On The Floor
In This One Bedroom Home.
The Face Was So Gentle,
The Room In Such Disorder,
Not How I Pictured
A United States Soldier.
Was This The Hero
Of Whom I'd Just Read?
Curled Up On A Poncho,
The Floor For A Bed?
I Realized The Families
That I Saw This Night,
Owed Their Lives To These Soldiers
Who Were Willing To Fight.
Soon Round The World,
The Children Would Play,
And Grownups Would Celebrate
A Bright Christmas Day.
They All Enjoyed Freedom
Each Month Of The Year,
Because Of The Soldiers,
Like The One Lying Here.
I Couldn't Help Wonder
How Many Lay Alone,
On A Cold Christmas Eve
In A Land Far From Home.
The Very Thought
Brought A Tear To My Eye,
I Dropped To My Knees
And Started To Cry.
The Soldier Awakened
And I Heard A Rough Voice,
"Santa Don't Cry,
This Life Is My Choice;
I Fight For Freedom,
I Don't Ask For More,
My Life Is My God,
My Country, My Corps."
The Soldier Rolled Over
And Drifted To Sleep,
I Couldn't Control It,
I Continued To Weep.
I Kept Watch For Hours,
So Silent And Still
And We Both Shivered
From The Cold Night's Chill.
I Didn't Want To Leave
On That Cold, Dark, Night,
This Guardian Of Honor
So Willing To Fight.
Then The Soldier Rolled Over,
With A Voice Soft And Pure,
Whispered, "Carry On Santa,
It's Christmas Day, All Is Secure."
One Look At My Watch,
And I Knew He Was Right.
"Merry Christmas My Friend,
And To All A Good Night."
