Merry Christmas Everyone!!!
Merry Christmas to you.
It's still Advent in this house. Christmas celebrations (tree et all) begin at sundown Christmas Eve and continue until Twelfthnight, January 5th, followed by Epiphany (when among other things we celebrate the arrival of the Magi).
We try not to be "Christmased-out" when Christmas truly arrives; that's only the beginning...
“God Bless us, everyone” and Kevin!
And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
Merry Christmas...
