The house is temporarily quiet, so before I go back into the kitchen, here’s a quick post to wish all my readers a Merry Christmas, whether you celebrate it spiritually or culturally. I don’t have particularly inspirational sentiments to offer, but please, take a look at what my fellow Patheos writers have to share with you and check back here tomorrow, for your regular dose of non-inspirational political/social commentary. In the meantime, go enjoy prayers and carols, feasting and family. (Hint: we’ll be taking advantage of the unseasonably warm weather and getting outside for at least a little while!)
(The picture, by the way, was my in-laws’ tree, from Augsburg, last year.)
