Merry Christmas

Aaron has written a new Christmas blog that I think is worthy of sharing. If you haven't read his blog before, this is a good introduction to his thinking and the feeling I believe his ministry will continue to take. I hope he is able to find a church some time soon.

Lyn is safely home and we will celebrate Christmas tomorrow afternoon and evening with the traditional Christmas burgers and avocado shrimp cocktail and then Christmas day we'll sit around and watch movies. The day after we will go to spend the day with my brother and his family, minus the four in Germany. We will be missing my sister - still in China, but her fiance will possibly be there. The day after we'll go to my oldest first cousin's home for a family reunion.

The knitting has gotten to the point where I need to be in the daylight to finish Scott's sweater, my sweater is coming along, other Christmas projects are finally finished. Lyn's secret Africa socks are finished and seem to fit her. Aaron's secret hat fits well enough that he wore it last night while he slept on the porch (the temp was in the 30's but he thought he'd sleep better with his sinus trouble.) He and Lyn went to the doctor today. Maybe they'll be a bit better by Christmas.

The two for reading: A First Class Murder from the Eleanor Roosevelt series written by her son Elliot. They are such fun reads. Another fun read right now is a collection of letters written by CS Lewis to his young fans. Some of his pen pals wrote him over 20 years! He felt the responsibility to answer all the letters written to him. What a remarkable man.

Have a very merry and a very happy Christmas. May your new year be happy and bright!
