Blessed Advent and a Joyous Christmas to you and yours! - 'For to us is born...a Savior, who is Christ the Lord!"
Just some quick comments...
- I discovered Alcott's: 'An Old Fashioned Thanksgiving' from her 'Aunt Jo's Scrap-Bag' a year ago and it is my new annual Thanksgiving Day read while the guests are sleeping-off the meal.
- And for Christmas Day, after the morning's Feast of Worship and another huge meal, it's Dylan Thomas' Classic - usually the audiobook read by the author.
- Movies... Hard to top that Christmas Carol with Alastair Sim, but we are also big fans of the older 'Scrooge' movie with Sir Seymour Hicks. Not as complete or as polished, but still a wonderful performance.
- Music... We start on our Christmas Music collection around late August to get a chance to hear most of it. Just can't get enough: 'Hark the Herald Angels Sing,' 'Of the Father's Love Begotten,' 'From Heav'n Above to Earth I Come' 'Wexford Carol' - the list is endless.
Absolutely love this - and you! Blessed Nativity Fast and birthday (coming up). You're in my heart and prayers!
I listen to Pandora stations I made: Irish Christmas Radio and Enya Holiday. Gorgeous, old world, Celtic music. And I love the 1984 "A Christmas Carol." It's a tradition in our house to watch it every year. ❤️❤️

Have a great Nativity Celebration,
...and a happy birthday!

Merry Christmas and good strength to you as we continue the Fast!
Happy birthday and many more years!
My personal favorite Christmas movie is "Miracle on 34th Street." I've always enjoyed the way that St. Nick is portrayed in that film!
Well said.
No event in human history has even come close to inspiring musical compositions and concerts as much as Christ's Nativity!
All the best to you and yours.
Christ is born! Glorify Him!
