Christmas / Eid Blessings

My friends, I wish you all the happiest, happiest celebrations. I wish you all the blessings of family, and friends, and enough food to eat and a roof over your head. I wish you quiet joy, and peace. Peace be upon you, brothers and sisters, and may your celebrations bring you joy.

AdventureMan and I will also be taking a break for a week to celebrate Christmas and to renew our spirits. I’ll be out of touch for about a week. God be with you!

  4. The same to you, intlxpatr. I see we have the same template–when I clicked on yours I thought it was mine for a second.
    That’s a nice old painting, though don’t those shepherds look like they’re up to no good?
