Crazy for Christmas

As we open presents and drink eggnog
(and eventually, wine!), sooner
or later someone (or several someones)
wind up decorated with ribbon
from the packages.  Don't be mad at me for 
posting this, Lila—you look cute!

inSPIREd Sunday

This pretty little church was established back in
1842, in Rocky Mount, in the Blue Ridge
Mountains of Virginia. Some of my VA cousins
sing in the choir here.
{Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to
 all who are celebrating today!}

Weekend Reflections

A very Merry Christmas &/or Happy Hanukkah
to all my fellow reflection addicts
and blog pals wherever you are and however
you celebrate at this time of year.
Are you all ready for the festivities?  I'm not!

Away in a manger

The biggest menorah you ever saw has not
been set up yet, but the nice crèche 
is there at Grand Army Plaza. Not so sure 
about that tree, though.
