Christmas is a time of sharing with family and friends. For Todd and me, that means spending time with our children, parents, grandparents, and siblings, gratefully acknowledging God’s blessings and sharing them with the people we love.
Ronald Reagan said Christmas was a “state of mind, found throughout the year whenever faith overcomes doubt, hope conquers despair, and love triumphs over hate.” On this Christmas Eve, let’s be thankful that we live in a country known for striving to embody these values. And let’s be grateful for the brave men and women in uniform who have fought to defend our values and who may be spending this Christmas far from home.
On behalf of the entire Palin family, I wish you a very Merry Christmas; and may the new year let you realize the promise found in 2 Timothy 1:7!
- Sarah Palin
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” (Isaiah 9:6)

that picture of Sarah leaving the sceene has the look of “Those bastards in DC don’t know what they’ve just unleashed” !!!
This may well be a year to remember with our Sarah! Will be hard for her top 2010 but the best is yet to come, eh?
We are having a relaxing day...sort of. Company isn't due to arrive until about 2pm so my DH and DD get to spend a leisurely morning.
What a glorious day!
Have a wonderful Christmas Day, neighbor!
Merry Christmas to all the SP FReepers!!!!
Welcome to the club! It's not so bad if you continue to think of yourself as 23 and stay away from all things advertising Free Heathcare! That's my plan and I'm stickin' to it!:D
Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday, nord!
Merry Christmas Everyone!!
Well, I've always thought 1955 was a great year!
23 huh? I like your plan!
Merry CHRISTmas, and thank you, CAluvdubya!
I like what Sarah’s astrological sign says.
Aquarius - The Water Bearer
January 20 – February 18
Often simple and unassuming, the Aquarian goes about accomplishing goals in a quiet, often unorthodox ways. Although their methods may be unorthodox, the results for achievement are surprisingly effective. Aquarian’s will take up any cause, and are humanitarians of the zodiac. They are honest, loyal and highly intelligent. They are also easy going and make natural friendships. If not kept in check, the Aquarian can be prone to sloth and laziness. However, they know this about themselves, and try their best to motivate themselves to action. They are also prone to philosophical thoughts, and are often quite artistic and poetic.
I’m not a great believer in astrology, but I find it interesting, especially when reading the traits of each sign.
Survive is about it. I thought living on a hill would keep me safe from flooding. Not so. We've got one room severely water damaged. But with the extreme damage we've seen across the western states we feel fortunate, fortunate and thankful on this Christmas Day.
Best wishes for the New Year!
I just opeened my copy of “America by Heart” got it for Christmas from my dear Daughter. My most prized possession this year.

Oops, I was up late last night and haven’t been awake long today so please forgive me; I should have asked how you did with the rain. Hopefully you were unscathed and could enjoy it. Is all well in your neck of the woods? :-)

You’re a gem!
Thank you!
Here comes a great New Year, with Sarah vexing the left!
I can hear their heads exploding already(hee hee hee).
You are welcome. :)
What a joyful Christmas this has been. Sarah’s message and her quote from 2 Timothy really brings it home.
The Lord is good, and he blesses the faithful!
Merry Christmas, Sarah! To you and Todd, and all the Palins!
