Celebrating Jesus

Christmas commemorates the birth of the Son of God, Jesus Christ, and truly, the world becomes a delightful place on the day.  It sweeps the magic wand and the snowy outdoors and joyous indoors fills the heart of one and all.  ~unknown

I hope all of you had a merry Christmas.  I didn't know I'd be away from my blog for so long, but I found I wanted to immerse myself in family and friends and celebrate Christ's birth without being tied to the computer. Here are a few highlights from our season:
