Merry Christmas Eve

Merry Christmas Eve

Peace on Earth, good will to all.

A picture of Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhall portraying shepherds in "Brokeback Mountain," with these words from Luke's Gospel: "And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them, and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, 'Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tiding of great joy, which shall be to all people.'"

All people means all people.

Yes, those people too. And those. All. People.

But Merry Christmas, especially, to you people — the one’s reading this here. (Don’t tell the others, but you’re my favorites.)
