Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Sing hey! for the bath at close of day
That washes the weary mud away!
A loon is he that will not sing:
O! Water Hot is anoble thing!
O! Sweet is the sound of falling rain.
and the brook that leaps from hill to plain;
but better than rain or rippling streams
is Water Hot that smokes and steams.
O! Water cold we may pour at need
down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed;
but better is Beer, if drink we lack,
and Water Hot poured down the back.
O! Water is fair that leaps on high
in a fountain white beneath the sky;
but never did fountain sound so sweet
as splashing Hot Water with my feet!
Our 4:30 Mass yesterday began with the Cantor walking down the center aisle of the darkened Sanctuary carrying a candle, singing that carol. It's the version that begins Benjamin Britten's "Ceremony of Carols". It was just beautiful!
Merry Christmas!! Yeah, 73 should now be considered advanced middle age, especially since I'm advancing that way every year! LOL!
Merry Christmas, Suz-Q. OB & LSA
The two of us are here at Jen's folks place for their big nutty family Christmas.

Merry Christmas to you and JenB and JenB's family--LSA & OB
Did Gypsy girl get a stocking for Christmas?
We didn't get to bed until after 4am, cause the Choir party went on til about 2:30, but it was a lot of fun.
Gypsy got her walk, her bits of Christmas cookies, and she is now faithfully guarding the kitchen as I prepare the Lamb with Cashew-Nut Curry we are having for Christmas dinner, but, alas, no Christmas stocking :-)

It's a nice, rainy, gray day here...good sleeping weather. :)
heh, good day for indoor type festivities; cooking, snacking, eating, baileying (is that a word?), watching the fire and listening to music, it's the same thing that we're doing. :-)
