For those who celebrate: MERRY CHRISTMAS

I love this quote about Christmas from Howard Thurman:

"The Work of Christmas"

"When the song of the angels is stilled
When the star in the sky is gone,
When the kings and princes are home,
When the shepherds are back with their flocks:

THE WORK OF CHRISTMAS BEGINS

To find the lost,
To heal the broken,
To feed the hungry,
To release the prisoner,
To bring peace among the peoples
and
to make music in the heart."

And isin't that what life is about? To make music in heart with and for one another?

May your holidays be a joyful song of community and may your next year be a symphoney!!!

Being that my heritage is French, I just went with the one I normally use. No disrespect intended.
