My Lips Are Sealed.

How many of you remember the Christmas classic "The Christmas Story". It centers around 9 year old Ralphie. One freezing day, he made a deal with another kid that he could lick a metal pole. And he DID, but not without getting his tongue stuck to it and needing emergency treatment. Here are some Christmas lights I found showing the scene!

My header was made out of paper mache' by a 12th grader.

Cute lights showing the famous scene but I'm intrigued by your header! What is it about?

It hurts me, just to think about this. We'd be so lost without our tongues, such small parts of our entire being and yet so necessary. I love the analogy in James to the tongue being like a rudder of a boat - It's so crucial in taking it where it needs to go - or a spark that can set a great forest on fire. We have to be so careful with our tongues, in more ways than one, don't we?
You find the most interesting stuff, Ginny!
