Merry Christmas!

Let's start the annual Christmas-wishes thread with the traditional opening: a link to Alan Maitland's reading of Fredrick Forsyth's The Shepherd.
Happy Christmas.

And as Peg and I pause in our preparations, let me offer our wishes for the season with my own link, to a story read by the pastor of the church I grew up in at every Christmas Eve service all the years he served -- The Other Wise Man by Henry Van Dyke (as abridged by Donald J. Wolfram).
-- Bob
I have been Roland, Beowulf, Achilles, Gilgamesh, Clark Kent, Mary Sue, DJ Croft, Skysaber. I have been called a hundred names and will be called a thousand more before the sun grows dim and cold.... 
"...The Other Wise Man..."
Oh, Lawsy; I don't dare read that one nowadays. It was one thing to get tears in my eyes when I was a teen, but fifty years later.... Mooses Gracious and Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas to all!
“We can never undo what we have done. We can never go back in time. We write history with our decisions and our actions. But we also write history with our responses to those actions. We can leave the pain and the damage in our wake, unattended, or we can do the work of acknowledging and fixing, to whatever extent possible, the harm that we have caused.”

It may not be Christmas-themed directly, but since many celebrate different traditions, here's something seasony from Gordon Lightfoot:

Merry Christmas.
Hear that thunder rolling till it seems to rock the sky?
Thats' every ship in Grayson's Navy taking up the cry! NO QUARTER! No Quarter by Echo's Children  I love the smell of rotaries in the morning. You know one time, I got to work early, before the rush hour. I walked through the empty carpark, I didn't see one bloody Prius or Golf. And that smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole carpark, smelled like.... ....speed. One day they're going to ban them. |
