I'm sorry to hear about the pain. Hope it gets better.

And the Grinch, with his grinch feet ice-cold in the snow, Stood puzzling and puzzling. "How could it be so? It came without ribbons! It came without tags! It came without packages, boxes, or bags!" He puzzled and puzzed till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before. Maybe Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more!

And Mr d10, a child and her mother, Mr. Kitsune, Diane and Lucy.

Just finished watching Midnight Mass at the Vatican.. This year, the sleeves on The Pope's robe were long and fairly stiff, so I could not see what was on his wrist. I remember watching one Midnight Mass and becoming disturbed when I noticed Pope Francis was wearing a watch at the service. Francis, if I may, Frank... You are the Supreme Pontiff of the Roman Church. Thousands of people came to Rome specifically to see and hear your message. Your boss is under no obligation to consider the complaints of anyone who thinks your Homily was too short or too long. Leave the watch and the jangling Vespa keys in the Sacristy.

There's a bit of irony to Christmas today; a lot of people have been saying that this year's Christmas season feels "the least Christmas-y ever", and yet this is the year with the most heartfelt greetings and well-wishes of all the ones I've experienced. Goes to show you the holiday isn't bound to the day or the reason of celebration but to the people that want to celebrate it. Once again, Merry Christmas to all stations.
