God Rest Ye Not-so-Merry Arthritic Gentlepeople.

God rest ye painful arthritics let nothing you dismay.
Because we have our forum here even on Christmas Day.
No matter that the painkillers do not do what they say.
Oh our webbie and Mods will still be here.
Still be here.
Making possible our forum's Christmas cheer.

Arthritis is a joyless beast and hates us to have fun.
So Christmas is a time of year it tries to make us shun.
But when our joints are aching and the day is scarce begun.
Oh our webbie and Mods will still be here.
Still be here.
Making possible our forum's Christmas cheer.

No-one need feel alone and angry with the useless meds
When pain has filled the joints and then starts messing with our heads.
We're always here to empathise. Just read some of our threads.
Oh our webbie and Mods will still be here.
Still be here.
Making possible our forum's Christmas cheer.

So thank you webbie Sharon and all Mods for being here.
And making possible our lovely forum atmosphere.
We wish you Merry Christmas and a Wonderful New Year.
Oh tidings of comfort and cheer,
Mulled wine and beer
Thank you for enabling us to all be here.

I think, however, a gauntlet has been thrown . . . . . . YIKES! DD

To be sung to the tune ‘Jingle Bells’

Creaking Bones
Creaking bones
Aching all the day
It ain’t much fun to feel this pain
And not know what to say

Asking all your friends
And family who say
Don’t know what you mean
Our bones are all ok

Creaking Bones
Creaking bones
Aching all the day
It ain’t much fun to feel this pain
And not know what to say

Then you find a place
Where Ev’ryone un-derstands
Caring for each other
Holding out their hands

A/C forum
A/C forum
is the place to be
Lots of lovely pe-o-ple
Helping those who need!

It has really been a pleasure to help keep this place going

Best wishes to you all

Ellen

Wow! We have a Mod songwriter in our midst x:D I always felt arthritis brings out the artistry in people.

Thanks, Mod Ellen. I certainly had no intention of throwing down a gauntlet. Mine was just a clumsy effort to say thank you but I love your response.

And thanks, everyone for the smileys santa

Merry Christmas, happy new year and THANK YOU to all at AC who so kindly and generously allow us this forum and the support that you offer.

A wonderful Tonic SW, very very apt. Also Ellen's Creaking Bones, equally as enjoyable and oh so true.

I think we need a choir

8) 8)

Maybe a forum Hymn Book, non denominational, so as to remain neutral.

Thank you Sticky and Mod Ellen! Amazing ditties! I will be singing them over the next week and the family will have no clue what I'm singing and think I have finally lost the plot!! x

My ol'bones are defiantly a creaking today!!

Thank you very much for this lovely Christmas ditty, myself and the moderators feel very humbled by your generosity. I see Ellen has written a wonderful response, Bravo!
Wishing you all a very Merry time over the next few weeks and let's hope our arthritis takes a back seat at least for a few days.
Best Wishes

I'd like to add my big thanks to all the moderators, they have helped point me in the right direction for support/advice, when at times its been really hard.

Very well said Sticky and Ellen. I sung them both.

A very merry Christmas to all the mods and thank you for the forums. I've made a few lovely friends since I've been here and got good advice when needed. santa

Hi lovely members,

You do realise that we need you too - so much x:)
We have a need to help and you give that to us -

and - you must have guessed - where do we go when arthritis is being it's most pushy, when we are glum, sometimes with no reason we can think of, when we need reminding we aren't alone?

Yep you've got it in one - here is where we come :!:

So a huge thank you to every one of you, for everything




Love Yvonne xx and all the crew xx
