A Christmas Pfennig, 2024

Good Day… And Merry Christmas to one and all! And if you don’t celebrate Christmas, please give me some slack today…. I’m like a kid at Christmas, always have been, and hope to always remain!  here is my annual Christmas Pfennig… I doubt that you’ll find it as good as previous years….  I hope you have a very Blessed Chrismas!

T’was the night before Christmas And all through the house

There was no one else Just me and my spouse…. 

Kathy is her name, And I love her 

The same as I did 47 years ago! 

I’m writing the Pfennig And trying to decide

If 2025 will be better For Gold to go on a ride?

The dollar is strong as an OX But Chuck is certain that

The dollar’s time for shorting Will come, as sly as a fox!

I’ll be surrounded by my kids And grandkids this Christmas

And for each of them I have a gift I hope they will like the gift

I’ve given them… 

But I have other gifts to give out

For Frank Trotter…. A new bank! For Alex & Grace… A happy life together!

For Andrew… A State Championship! For Rachel… The ability to live with 

A State Champion! 

For Dawn… A class of Einsteins! 

And there’s more! 

But I don’t want to bore you

So, I’ll move on…

The stockings are hung by the chimney with care

With hopes that St. Nick will soon be there…

2024 has been a challenging year for your writer

And 2025 doesn’t appear to be any lighter…. 

But he lives by the words of the great Jimmy V.

I won’t give up, never give up! 

But this isn’t a downer letter

C’Mon Chuck, you can do better! And  I will!

The currencies have been rotten

But Gold Cant be forgotten Throw in some Silver

Platinum, Palladium or Copper And you’ve got a real topper!

I have nothing else to share it’s time to go… 

But before I leave

I’m dreaming of a bed of snow The fireplace roaring

And family all around…. It’s doesn’t get much better than that!

So, as Chuck picks up his bag of gifts And heads out the door

You can hear him exclaim…. Merry Christmas To All, 

And to All a Good Night!
