Wishing You All a Merry Christmas!

I'm sure that many of you are preparing for Christmas Eve and Christmas right about now. My husband and I will be going to a Christmas Eve service at our church in about two hours. I always love it. This is a photo of our church last Christmas Eve. Tomorrow morning, one of our daughters and two of our grandkids will be here to open presents and have lunch with us ... after they open their presents and have breakfast at home. I will not be online for most of the next 24 hours, so I thought I would take this moment to wish you all a very Merry Christmas ... or best wishes for any other holiday you will be celebrating!

I hope you are having a lovely Christmas. I heard there were some terrible storms in Mississippi the last few days. Hope that you and everyone you love is OK.

We are having a lovely day. Currently, we are watching "Nightmare Before Christmas," so I thought I would pop onto the computer for a few minutes!

The church service last night was lovely. We've been on the phone all morning with my parents and some of our kids. Now we are waiting for the local daughter to show up. Meanwhile, my husband and I are watching "Nightmare Before Christmas" on Netflix!

We went to a lovely Christmas Eve Christmas program at our church, with a program presented by the children and young people, singing, and communion. It was lovely. I hope your Merry Christmas is very blessed.

Merry Christmas to you and yours, too. Hope you are having a pleasant winter (I've noticed it has been pretty cold in some parts of China but, like the U.S., it is a big country, so perhaps it hasn't been so bad where you are!

@DeborahDiane I would love to go to a church like that. The architecture would be something to see for sure.

Thank you! It is a pretty old church ... almost 100 years old. It had to be reinforced a few years ago to make it earthquake resistant. It's the only church right in the heart of Laguna Beach.

Merry Christmas Deborah-Diane. I missed most of midnight mass but caught the last half hour on the television. My grandson is quite poorly.

@DeborahDiane Thank you. It was really quite sad to see him so poorly. He crawled under the table at lunch time and slept underneath his chair for around two hours. When he woke he seemed a little bit brighter. Enough to open a couple of presents.

@garymarsh6 - I hope he continues to improve. I'm glad he seemed brighter after his nap. Take care!

I am so sorry to hear that your grandson is not doing well. That is so sad. It is awful for a child to be ill any time of year, but especially when everyone else is enjoying the holidays. I hope his health improves. I'll say a little prayer for him.
