Merry Christmas 2017

Family
Merry Christmas to all and blessings into the new year! Hoping that you enjoy this day with people that you love and spread that love to others. As the Pope and other spiritual leaders (oh and Charlie Brown Day 150), remind us not to be intoxicated with consumerism and to remember the simple birth of a child who was born to save the world -the greatest gift!  


Give your loved ones an extra hug this year as Christmas is in the heart and not found under the tree! As ("Elf") reminds us, "spread the Christmas cheer by singing loud for all to hear" and I say into your best NEW YEAR! 

Spiritual Reflection:
Suddenly, an angel of the Lord appeared among them, and the radiance of the Lord's glory surrounded them. They were terribly frightened, but the angle reassured them. "Don't be afraid! he said, "I bring you good news of great joy for everyone! The Savior-yes, the Messiah, the Lord-has been born tonight in Bethlehem, the city of David! And this is how you will recognize him: You will find a baby lying in a manger, wrapped snugly in strips of cloth!
    Suddenly, the angel was joined by a vast host of others-the armies of heaven-praising God:
          "Glory to God in the highest heaven, 
             and peace on earth to all who God favors" (Luke 2:9-14)
