D2 Infirmary
Steve Paske – motorcycle accident, continuing to recover Please keep these folks in your thoughts. If you’d like, give them a call or drop them a card. I’m sure they’d love to hear from their D2 Family.
What do you call people who are afraid of Santa Claus? Claustrophobic. Why does Santa have 3 gardens? So he can ho-ho-ho. Why was Santa's little helper depressed? Because he had low elf esteem. What do you call an elf who sings? A Wrapper!

Ingredients

SOFT CHRISTMAS SUGAR COOKIES
4 cups sugar
2 cups Crisco
4 eggs
2 cups buttermilk
2 tsp. soda
4 tsp. baking powder
2 tbsp. vanilla
8 cups flour
Cream sugar, shortening. Add eggs. Add remaining ingredients. Must refrigerate -
preferably overnight. The secret to this dough is keeping it chilled, it's a very soft
dough. Take a little out of the bowl and place on floured sink top or pie board. Treat
it similar to pie crust as far as handling goes, you may need to sprinkle with a little
flour and roll to about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Cut with a floured cookie cutter. Work
with small amounts in order to keep dough chilled. Have patience and you will be
rewarded with beautiful cookies. Bake 350 degrees - watch - do not brown (only
lightly on bottom). Can freeze and frost later.

TWAS THE NITE BEFORE A GWRRA CHRISTMAS
Twas the nite before Christmas,when all through the chapter
Not a Goldwinger was stirring, not even the Director.
Their helmets were hung by the door with care,
In hopes that good riding days soon would be there;
The D-2 members were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of chrome accessories danced in their heads;
And Debbie in her kerchief, and Rick in his cap,
Had just settled down for a long winter’s nap-
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
They sprang from their bed to see what was the matter.
What to his wondering eyes should appear,
But Santa’s sleigh and eight tiny reindeer.
Debbie yelled down: “Hey Santa , Why all the fuss?”
Santa replied”The sleigh’s too heavy, Christmas’s gonna be a bust.”
Rick grabbed his Gold Book and told Santa not to worry,
“I’ll call my GW friends, they’ll be here in a hurry.”
Hello Steve; Hello Bob, Hello Rob and Dan,
Call all the others; tell them to get here as fast as they can.
Within the hour Santa was fast on his way,
With eight shiny Goldwings pulling his sleigh.
We heard him exclaim, ere he flew out of sight;
“MERRY CHRISTMAS GOLDWINGERS-
YOU’VE SAVED THE NIGHT!!”
