Merry Christmas

December 25, 2012 by Gene Veith

Dear readers,

I wish all of you the joy of the season and every blessing of the Christ child!

Remember:  Keep Christ in Christmas.  Keep “mass” in Christmas (by going to church and receiving Holy Communion).  Keep the “holy” in “holiday.”  Keep the day in holiday.  Keep St. Nicholas (the Trinitarian confessor) in Santa Claus.  And just keep Christmas.

Sincerely yours,

GENE VEITH

    My children dressed up, we borrowed sheep and mules, and we told the Christmas story in pictures. I wanted to share our Christmas greetings with you.

    Sarah @ 2. I throughly enjoyed your slideshow. Couldn’t get it to play for a few minutes, no doubt a computer problem. Your children will never forget this. What neck of the woods do you live in? I enjoyed seeing the rural setting. Peace be with you and yours.
