Santa’s Got the Presents!

I haven’t bought many presents this year. I don’t really know why. I guess I don’t want to leave my house. It feels like the North Pole — secluded and so far away from civilization. I’m trying not to be a humbug…

HO! HO! HO!

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.

We Wish You A Merry Christmas

Even though the year hasn’t been good for me, I can’t let the Holiday feelings of this festive season go by. It makes me happy for a bit. So go and enjoy the fun of the Holiday season.

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

It Hasn’t Been Looking Anything at All Like Christmas

I’ve been too caught up in my miserable work life to see that Christmas time has arrived. Yes, I love this part of the year. And the Winter Solstice is coming along any day now. But I’ve not noticed one bit. My miserable work life is miserable. Why must it make me miss the most fantastic part of the year.
