Merry Christmas

Ah ....

The Christmas rush is over, so I'm sitting here enjoying a cup of hot chocolate and listening to some Christmas carols played on guitar.

Christmas Mass was good. Father always waits for me to finish my deliveries before he celebrates the last Christmas liturgy. Many of the elves attend as well - the workers, their spouses, their children. Although I am tired, the joy of the celebration fills me with energy. And it's a chance to thank the One whose birthday we mark today (even if it isn't his true birthday).

But now, the weariness is setting in. I have been known to fall asleep in this very chair on Christmas Day.

May it be a blessed and restful day for all of you.
