Merry Christmas 2018 ... Part 2
On the Second Day of Christmas we have... the "official" family Christmas card, digitally designed by yours truly: .
Remember to Keep Celebrating Christmas over the next eight days, and then beyond as we celebrate God's coming into the world to dwell with us and save us. .
Whatever confusion, shadows, or darkness we find in our environment, our circumstances, or our selves, Jesus Christ is the light of the world. .
His light shines for us, and leads us along the way.

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year? Really??

Christmas is almost here. Are we feeling "merry" yet? "Holly-Jolly"? We're trying. Maybe another glass of that eggnog-plus-special-secret-ingredients (you know, the one that's NOT for the kids) might help.

"Christmas is Coming" -- Why We Celebrate

Christmas is coming very soon. Even the Janaros need to think about getting our tree and decorations up. We will leave them up long after New Year's in keeping with the Christmas season.
Yesterday afternoon the sun was bright and the air was pleasant even though it was a bit windy.
I decided to do a "Front Yard" video about these final days of preparation for Christmas. I was actually pretty tired, and so the video is a little awkward. But I might as well share it.
We always have reason to rejoice and reason to hope. .

The Root of Jesse is the Hope of Everyone
I tried to design a graphic presentation of the "O Antiphon" for December 19 (on the Roman calendar) and I came up with something like this : .
He has come as a "sign for the peoples" of the whole world. The child whose birth we will soon celebrate is (in reality) humanity's greatest hope, for "to you all nations shall have recource." .
What else can we say? Jesus, "come, save us!!"

What Elephant??
Elephant? What elephant?
Hmmm.... What's going on here?
The reason we don't see the "elephant in the room" is because we are all inside the elephant!
