MERRY CHRISTMAS!

At Bill and Leslie's Serenity, Snoopy is joined by twinkling snowflakes --


And at Tom and Juni's, even the mirrors are wearing Santa hats --


As the sun sets in the west behind the palm trees --


It reminds us of what it must look like in the Holy Land where Jesus was born --



Leslie, Forry and I went to the Christmas Eve service at Trinity Mennonite Church in Glendale this evening. At the end of the service the congregation filed out into the courtyard which was lit with lines of luminaries. Each person was given a candle as they came out the doors; everyone circled the courtyard and then sang Silent Night. Absolutely gorgeous!


When we returned from church, we all joined Tom and Juni and friends for a traditional Southwest dinner -- posole (pork and hominy soup) and tamales. A lovely evening indeed!


To all our friends and family, we wish you a very merry and a VERY BLESSED Christmas!
