I apologize for causing so much trouble. :(

Thank you so much for reposting it Billie. I should have done it that way in the first place. I was so stunned at the beauty of the tree, I didn't think to check the size.

Have a very Merry Christmas, everyone!

Seasonal Lament

The wind sings a chill song, among the branches bare
And the ice and snow are monochromatic terror
The storm rages and the temperature plunges again
And the bitter wind just wantonly increases it din

Savage the stark winter in its artic madness most felt
A threat in a heavy hand most assuredly hard dealt
Air so cold its steals away so much of your breath
It reminds you that amid the whiteness hides death

A voice on the radio complains of global warming again
As if natural forces are all man’s own claim to some sin
Yet the winter comes and warming is gone like their logic
And the carping tone and accusations could make one sick

Frostbite reality sinks into our bones as we seek some relief
We hide in the warmth of a place for a moment most brief
Oh stop bitching about the warming so absent you moron
And let us get on with surviving to another chill dawn

I will be back sometime this afternoon. Thank you all for your wonderful posts, which I hope to answer - as well as post the holidays for today - TWO MORE DAYS! :)

“The Hallelujah Chorus” stirs my soul whenever I hear it, as I’m sure it does yours. But let’s be sure we do more than resonate to that magnificent music. Let’s open our hearts in faith and adoration for the Messiah promised in the book of Isaiah (Isa. 9:1-7). He has come to us in the person of Jesus Christ to be our Savior. “Unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder” (v.6).

Beautiful Savior! Lord of the nations!
Son of God and Son of Man!
Glory and honor, praise, adoration
Now and forevermore be Thine! —Seiss (trans.)

God’s highest Gift awakens our deepest gratitude.”

Praise Him, Praise Him, Praise Him.

On the 10th day of Christmas
My true love told to me



The tan Ford's a-leaking . . .

[ConorMacNessa]

[Lady Jag]

Leak or not, I would take that Ford.

Good afternoon, Everyone.

This is the beautiful ornament that Billie made in 2006.

Both are adorable. You found a perfect poem for that precious little girl.

Christmas is here
And I'm not prepared.
If I let it bother me
I'd be pretty scared.
But now that I've told you
My life will be spared.

I love that rendition of Silent Night. My two year old stops in her tracks and hums whenever she hears Sarah McLachlan sing “In the Arms of the Angels”.
