		<description><![CDATA[      An ode is a ‘lyric poem’ in an ‘elevated style’… Okay, so this isn’t an ode.  Maybe it’s a tribute… acknowledgment, applause, appreciation, citation, commendation, compliment, encomium (what is that? I’ve never even heard of that word before?!), honor, laudation, panegyric (I’ve never heard of that word either, wow, all of a sudden [&#8230;]]]></description>

<p style="text-align: center;">Okay, so this isn’t an ode.  Maybe it’s a tribute… <a href="http://thesaurus.reference.com/browse/acknowledgment"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">acknowledgment</span></a>, applause, <a href="http://thesaurus.reference.com/browse/appreciation">appreciation</a>, citation, <a href="http://thesaurus.reference.com/browse/commendation">commendation</a>, <a href="http://thesaurus.reference.com/browse/compliment">compliment</a>, encomium (what is that?

<p style="text-align: center;">Yes, this is an accolade, basically, a salute to ‘December Babies and their Moms’</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>If you were born in December or have given birth in December- you are part of a very special club.</strong>  I gave birth to my son a week before Christmas, so I’m a full-fledged member of this club. </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>*If you’re just reading this out of curiosity, club members get extra-cool-mom points for giving birth to babies during Hanukkah if they’re Jewish, and on Christmas or the week before, if they’re Christian.</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>*Why the bonus points?  Because they learn to juggle everything and are bastions of organization !!!!!</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">So without further ado-</p>
