'tis the season..................................

Christmas must be getting close.  Watched Hans Gruber fall off of the Nakatomi Tower last weekend, and the Licking County Courthouse is now officially all decked out.

Traditions............................

..........................................The Courthouse lighting:  this is how we know Christmas is coming to Licking County

Now here's...........................

...........................................................a tradition worth emulating.

All I want for Christmas...............

.........is to spend a day or three checking out his library, or his.

Faulty parenting.................

Neither of my two adult children will accept the fact the Die Hard is a Christmas movie, even after we watched it, as a family, this evening.

I feel like such a failure.

And, lo..........................

8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.

9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.

10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,

14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

15 And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.

-The Holy Bible, King James Version, Luke 2:8-15

Merry Christmas.............

..........................................................from our house to yours.

I do............................

What if..............................

“And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, 
stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled 'till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before. What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.” 


-Dr. Seuss, How the Grinch Stole Christmas!

Likely this weekend...............
