Dear Friends,
I wish you all a Merry Christmas. Today looks different for many of us. Having yourself a merry little Christmas is the order of the day. As you celebrate be mindful of those struggling and suffering. It is also OK to leave up your decorations past New Year because we need brightness and beauty to illuminate our world. No matter what your day looks like may it be one of peace, love and grace. Also, wear your masks for all of us.
With Love and Peace On Earth
Your friend, Tony
Festivus is a secular holiday celebrated on December 23 as an alternative to the pressures and commercialism of the Christmas season. It is celebrated with the Airing of Grievances, Feats of Strength, the aluminum pole, Festivus dinner, Festivus miracles.
The holiday rose to mass cultural awareness after it was featured in an episode of the long-running TV show “Seinfeld”.
To all celebrating Festivus, have a great holiday.
Happy Monday and all that jazz my fellow bloggers and friends.
Yes the old guy is taking another selfie. It’s what I do.
The winter solstice, hiemal solstice or hibernal solstice occurs when one of the Earth’s poles has its maximum tilt away from the Sun. It happens twice yearly, once in each hemisphere.

Well, I am 51 but the same sentiment applies. Anything can be a light sabre. May the force be with you all.
My priest, Fr. Quinn Parman preaching the Eucharist on the fourth Sunday of Advent at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church. This Advent season has indeed been very different but our parish has indeed adapted by meeting for worship outdoors and socially distanced. Peace of The Lord be with us all in the days ahead as we head toward Christmas day and a new year.
