All the best, to you and yours. Hugs are precious, but are best when you pass them on..Merry Christmas all.

I have tons of Christmas cookies in the house, Dean. Feel free to take some. Merry Christmas!

Great job Heart and Merry Christmas!

Beyond a doubt one of the most AAAAWWWW-some Christmas comic strips I’ve ever read.

@ mabrndt: thanks for this pretty card. Many people don’t know this, so I thought I’d copy this blurb about the “Carol of the Bells”….Carol of the Bells" is a popular Christmas carol composed by Mykola Leontovych, a Ukrainian composer, in 1904 with lyrics by Peter J. Wilhousky. The song is based on a folk chant known in Ukrainian as “Shchedryk”. ..The song is based on a traditional folk chant. It was associated with the coming New Year, which, in pre-Christian Ukraine, was originally celebrated with the coming of spring in April. (This explains why the original Ukrainian text speaks about a swallow returning and lambs being born.).With the introduction of Christianity to Ukraine, and the adoption of the Julian calendar, the celebration of the New Year was moved from April to January, and the holiday with which the chant was originally associated became Malanka (Ukrainian: Щедрий вечір Shchedry vechir), the eve of the Julian New Year (the night of 13–14 January in the Gregorian calendar). The songs sung for this celebration are known as Shchedrivky..The original Ukrainian text tells the tale of a swallow flying into a household to proclaim the plentiful and bountiful year that the family will have. The title is derived from the Ukrainian word for “bountiful”. The period for the birth of animals and the return of swallows to Ukraine, however, does not correspond to the current calendar season of winter.

AWW :-) Merry Christmas everyone :-)
