Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas

Here's wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

"From our happy home

Through the world we roam

One week in all the year,

Making winter spring

With the joy we bring

For Christmas-tide is here.

Now the eastern star

Shines from afar

To light the poorest home;

Hearts warmer grow,

Gifts freely flow,

For Christmas-tide has come.

Now gay trees rise

Before young eyes,

Abloom with tempting cheer;

Blithe voices sing,

And blithe bells ring,

For Christmas-tide is here.

Oh, happy chime,

Oh, blessed time,

That draws us all so near!

"Welcome, dear day,"

All creatures say,

For Christmas-tide is here."

Louisa Alcott

Christmas Day

Christmas Day dawned with a dramatic Eastern sky.

I am not a morning person by any means but was so thankful to be up to witness this sunrise. What a Christmas morning gift!

First thing we checked the stocking to see what Santa-paws might have delivered. New cat-nip mice for everyone!

Solomon says please leave me alone - I'm busy here!

Padma was in heaven. Nothing like a 20 pound cat in drug-induced joy!

As I set the Christmas table, this female Hairy Woodpecker was having her Christmas lunch at the peanut feeder.

Just after 4 PM we at down to dinner with Family.

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas!

I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day
Their old familiar carols play,

And wild and sweet the words repeat

Of peace on earth, good will to men.

Merry Christmas!

I hope that your Christmas is filled with love, laughter, family, and cozy hiding places. Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas

What is Christmas? It is tenderness for the past,

courage for the present, hope for the future.

It is a wish fervent wish that every cup may overflow with

blessings rich and eternal, and that every path may lead to peace.
