"Glory to God in the highest,
and peace to his people on earth."
(Luke 2:14)
And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch of their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them,
"Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord."
(Luke 2:8-11)

Amen. Merry Christmas Joey. I hope the ice doesn't keep us away from Christmas Eve mass. We'll go tomorrow if we must. Your photo of the angel is beautiful.~~Dee
Joy and happiness to you and your loved ones, Joey. May the new year bring you many treasures.
Peace to his people on earth, indeed, Joey! It's been a challenging year for both of us...I'll be thinking of you tomorrow, because I know your thoughts will turn at times to your sister. Here's hoping that 2010 will be a kinder, gentler time for all of us. xx jodi
Thank you, dear Anna ... indeed I did see your lovely note but we can never receive enough Christmas love ... of which much more is sent your way also for a Blessed Christmas and peaceful/healthy New Year.
Thanks, dear Dee. Because of the grandboys, we will attend early Children's Mass and then entertain 'the troops'! We too are expecting rain, hopefully not freezing since we light luminaries at dusk (our Garden Club yearly fundraiser)! Wishing you a most Blessed Christmas and beautiful New Year!
Beautiful Photo! Stunning light and shadows... You are so talented! Merry Christmas Joey!!
Wishing you a very Merry Christmas.
Thanks for all of your kind comments over the year, and your blogging friendship.
Have a wonderful time celebrating with family, and friends.

May Santa and his reindeer spread much joy into your life this Christmas!
And let's hope the North Pole reception committee cleans up afterward.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year my friend!
It is wonderful to see so many blogging friends who keep the true meaning of Christmas in their hearts. Blessings to you this Christmas Eve, Joey.

This is so lovely, Joey. I so appreciate what you consistently put out there into the world--always full of graciousness, quality and beauty. Hope your Christmas was all you'd wished for and that you enjoy the closing of the year and the opening of the New Year. Big hugs and much love, Kathryn xoxoo
Joey, your photo is just lovely. I cannot believe the Christmas season is over. It was so very short this year. I feel like I'm in some time warp, the days and season just fly by.
I hope your Christmas was perfect and that your New Year will be everything you hoped for.
Marnie
... and you, Martha. Happy New Year!
Happy New Year, Cameron ... it seems that this past one has been huge for many. Do hope this year rings in the health, happiness and hope for beautiful tomorrows.
Such a busy time for families, dear Marmee, especially for someone like you that doesn't miss a beat :) May the New Year surround us all in peace, health and happiness!
Thank you, dear Nutty, and may I extend the same beautiful wishes to you and your dear family. Will look forward to the tea house completion and more photos of you in your snuggies and wellies :)
Our friendship has been a joy, dear Kathryn. Thank you for the kind words and support over the past few years ... you, my dear, are the 'Queen of Graciousness'! My long arms are wrapped around you with love and hopes for a beautiful New Year!
I'm with you BIG TIME, Marnie! Where did the year go, dear blogging friend? Wishing you the happiest of New Years also. I'm in a huge time & tech warp, wondering when I can get back to blogging!
Beautiful, Beautiful! Thank you Joey. God's blessings to you as you continue through this week in anticipation of the arrival of 2010! :-)
