Ludwig should see the cats on the Web! This, from 2012. It’s been a very busy week around here, as I’m sure it’s been at your place. I missed posting yesterday altogether, because of my holiday work schedule, but at least I’m done with that. Now it’s on to last-minute Christmas shopping. Is there any other kind?

My daughter played football for a professional woman’s league and the team won the National Championship. The next year the team put out a fund raising calendar and my daughter was Miss November. I posted on FB: ” Happiness is seeing your daughter featured in a calendar and she’s dressed in a football uniform and not something much less!”
Took yesterday and today off. Walked 14 Miles in honor of my birthday today. It’s not sexy, but felt good. I can’t imagine fighting cancer. All these warriors have my prayers and undying respect.
God bless us every one. God bless the USA. A Merry Christmas to every one.
Today’s Grizzwells is borderline profound.

Peace,
Merry Christmas to JJ and all!
Today’s “Close To Home” cartoon is, well, different….
Nice story, Steve.
Everyone have a great holiday. I have Christmas, wife’s birthday, my birthday, then new years and no work.
Usually a good week of the year.
c x-p:
Our older son [currently pastor at Cascade UMC] and his wife Kandy did a comparable charitable gift [not 500# of fresh yak dung] for us and all others one Christmas decades back. Elaine, I, and his sibs were delighted. His nieces and nephew were either not yet born or to young to remember it. Don’t know what others’ responses may have been.
Peace,
Symply a Merry Christmas to all, we had a Fargone Channukah to remember, if you celebrated, hope you did too.
May you all be at peace in all its’ convolutions
Shalom aleikhem, Symply, from Jackie and me.
Still decorating slowly and small trees. Of course we haven’t found the nine foot tree and it’s ornaments yet but there is next year!
Merry Christmas! The frozen precipitation is moving this way from out of the West.
Ghost is playing White Christmas on computer.
Z nášho domova k vašim, Veselé Vianoce a Nový rok š?astia.
Definitely cold rain out there, just above freezing, feels like 27. I am decorating tree in shorts and sleeveless tee with a consumptive cough.
House is incredibly well insulated and cosy.
Ghost is out in rain distributing Christmas gifts to my female friends. If it weren’t miserable he might enjoy that.
This is different:

Reminder:
Starting at 0900 CST Sun. 24 Dec., MPR and affiliates nationwide will broadcast live 9 Lessons and Carols from King’s College Chapel at Cambridge Univ., UK. It w/b 1500 GMT there, with late daylight still lighting the stained glass windows [but not for long; they are farther N than Winnipeg, Can.].
The 9 lessons [all KJV, the most literate if not most accurate translation of Hebrew Bible and New Testament scriptures] w/b read by various members of the campus and local communities, usually featuring sev. different UK accents, and the many more than 9 carols w/b sung by the KCC choir, boys whose voices haven’t changed yet, + a male student choir of former boys’ choir members whose voices have [and which, I believe, gave rise to the Kings Singers].
The live program w/b rebroadcast at 1700 CST, and perhaps at various other times at other public radio stations. BUMC’s morning and late afternoon services conflict with both times; I w/b at our regular morning service only.

Peace,
Time for the annual telling of my favorite Santa joke.
Q. Why is Santa always so jolly?
A. Because he knows where all the naughty girls live.
Here’s a Nordic Solstice by the Harp Twins:

Good morning all from wet Oklahoma. I woke up wanting to make ambrosia.
Saved from Christmas pneumonia and the hospital by my plastic surgeon!
Seriously. That man is going to get a Santa every time I go now for his collection.
Merry Christmas or your holiday appropriate grreting. Love to all.
I guess with a birthday so close to Christmas, I’ve always loved Christmas Trees. So I doubt that I would never succumb to a table top tree. Merry Christmas to all.
Steve had I not loved Christmas all my life I probably would not have ended up as a professional Christmas designer. We get to create fantasy trees in so many themes.
Still love it after all this time. I do miss the big real blue spruce fresh trees.
Good morning from snowy Tulsa. Rained all day yesterday, went down to upper 20’s overnight. Started snowing before midnight, got a dusting. Most has stuck to cars but is disappearing from ground and roads. So i’ve had a white Christmas this year.
