Merry Christmas to you and yours, Rus.
Thank you for bringing scripture to us again today.

Wishing you a Warm Blessed Christmas.
Have a Blessed Night Before Jesus Came!

Have you made one with a transparent background?

Yes, I have, but don't ask me where to find one right now. LOL

I use "Gif Construction Set" to make animated gifs, transparent or not, and to transparify other gifs that I want to place somewhere without a solid background around them - or just to "look" at animations that I'm curious about - how many frames there are, etc.

Transparent backgrounds are easy, but you need a solid background behind the object you want to be transparent on another graphic. If the background is the same solid color in every frame, you just make each frame transparent BY that background color.

Hi Pistov! Just when I had given up hope that you would show, there you are!!

I guess you are extra busy this year.
I have a false confession to make: I have been very, very GOOD this year.

Heehee. Merry Christmas!!

Well, I don’t know if you or Ms. Amy did the HTML to overlay the jpeg and the gif but thank you to both because it solved my problem with embedding a YouTube object in a cartoon.

GeeBee, you are shopping today, God bless you!!:) I used to be a Christmas Eve shopper, it was more fun back in the day.

Anyway, have a got a special treat here for all my FRiends. It is my favorite Christmas carol for many, many years. Everyone, please enjoy, and have a Blessed, Joyous, Merry Christmas. Feel the Love:)

In the Bleak Midwinter~~Moody Blues

In the bleak mid-winter
Frosty wind made moan,
Earth stood hard as iron,
Water like a stone;
Snow had fallen, snow on snow,
Snow on snow,
In the bleak mid-winter
Long ago.

Our God, Heaven cannot hold Him
Nor earth sustain;
Heaven and earth shall flee away
When He comes to reign:
In the bleak mid-winter
A stable-place sufficed
The Lord God Almighty,
Jesus Christ.

Enough for Him, whom cherubim
Worship night and day,
A breastful of milk
And a mangerful of hay;
Enough for Him, whom angels
Fall down before,
The ox and ass and camel
Which adore.

Angels and archangels
May have gathered there,
Cherubim and seraphim
Thronged the air,
But only His mother
In her maiden bliss,
Worshipped the Beloved
With a kiss.

What can I give Him,
Poor as I am?
If I were a shepherd
I would bring a lamb,
If I were a wise man
I would do my part,
Yet what I can I give Him,
Give my heart.

Words by Christina Rosetti (1830-1894)

Your lights look so pretty, Dave. Merry Christmas! I've got to get away from here now - and finish getting me and everything ready for the rest of the holiday festivities. I have enjoyed Christmasing at Amy's this year.

Merry Christmas from my 'kitchen' to yours. :)

[Billie]

I’m glad I could help you with your html for YouTube. :)

Merry Christmas... Christ the Savior is Born!!!

I absolutely adore that song as sung by Julie Andrews and love to sing it myself. It is beautiful (both the words and the music) and one of my personal favorites, along with Pata Pata Pan (sp?).
