MERRY CHRISTMAS!

 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will to men.

 

From my home and my little spot on the world wide web to your humble abode, I wish you the merriest Christmas ever. 

May the peace that Christ brings be at the very heart of your Christmas.

Merry Christmas!

 

May the blessings of Christ's birth be with you today and always! 

Merry Christmas to one and all!

Peace on Earth! Goodwill toward men!

Merry Christmas To All!

We are having a true White Christmas here in south central Ohio this year. Yesterday the snow began around 3pm and continued until almost midnight. In that time we had accumulations in the 4-5-inch range.

All is calm.

While the snow was falling, so were our temperatures. Christmas Eve morning saw the thermometer at 48 degrees. By bedtime, we were at 17. Brrr!

If you look close, you can make out the sidewalk.

Our Christmas Day will be a first for us - no family coming in; just the two of us here to enjoy a quiet day and reflect on the true meaning of Christmas. Son is all the way out in Oregon; DD1 will go with her husband to his family's gathering in Findlay; DD2 has to work. She is employed by a health care facility.  

I hope your day is filled with the wonders of the season; peaceful reflection, and utter contentment. I am spending some of my day reminiscing about Christmases past (click here) and to read that wonderful Truman Capote short story "A Christmas Memory."

Merry Christmas!
