I am sitting at my desk in the Bud Cave on this Sunday morning. Through my window I watch a light snow
falling in the back yard covering the last of the autumn leaves that were not
raked up. I suppose they are now destined
to remain until spring. I meant to get
these leaves raked up, but like some good intentions I failed to get it
done. Oh well, they will be dry in a few
months and I will take care of them then.
The Lovely Sharon is in Palm Desert and I am here in Salt
Lake. Yesterday I had a busy day,
Christmas shopping, grocery shopping, visiting my sister and her husband, and
their new dog Buddy and my parents.
Last night I attended my law firm’s holiday party in downtown Salt
Lake. Today I will visit Son Alex and
his wife Kristen.
Last Wednesday my Salt Lake golf group met for dinner and
Christmas greetings.
This time of year is always filled with errands and visits
to friends and family.
I have been watching Hallmark Channel Christmas movies since
Thanksgiving. I like those movies. Conflict, sadness and problems which are all
resolved in the last half hour of the movie for a happy ending.
When I drive my car I listen to XM Radio Country Christmas playing
non-stop Christmas Music. I have the Christmas
spirt. I am not a particularly religious
person but thoughts of kindness, good deeds and best wishes to all abound in
me. I need to be more helpful to those
around me particularly the homeless, the hungry and the lonely.
Silent Night. Think about the words, hear the beautiful
simple melody in your mind.
Silent night, holy
night!
All is calm, all is
bright.
Round yon Virgin,
Mother and Child.
Holy infant so tender
and mild,
Sleep in heavenly
peace,
Sleep in heavenly
peace
Silent night, holy
night!
Shepherds quake at
the sight.
Glories stream from
heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing
Alleluia,
Christ the Savior is
born!
Christ the Savior is
born
Silent night, holy
night!
Son of God love's
pure light.
Radiant beams from
Thy holy face
With dawn of
redeeming grace,
Jesus Lord, at Thy
birth
Jesus Lord, at Thy
birth
To my friends and family Merry Christmas
