[Magdalen] Happy Christmas.

[Kate Conant]

I got 2 very nice cardigans from Jim.  We also got a wonderful calendar
with photos of one of our favorite pinup girls:  granddaughter Lucy Conant,
age 2.  Lucy was glad to get a red rocking chair from us.  Son Dan (her
father) got a "Vintage Football" from us (remembering the Nerf football we
gave him on his 1st Christmas in 1985).

My father-in-law John joined us (Jim, Jack, and me) at Dan's in
Shepherdstown, WV for midday brunch and also for dinner back at home at 6
pm:  rib roast, sweet potato casserole, asparagus and banana bread.

I missed seeing the moon on Christmas Eve:  I was at Christmas Eve Orthros
and Liturgy at Dormition of the Virgin Mary in Winchester, VA, from 6:45 pm
to 9:15 pm, then we had coffee and Greek pastries in the hall until 10:15
pm.  I was home by 11 pm.  I did see several photos of the moon and its
ring taken in the area.

Christ is Born! Glorify Him!  Χριστός γεννάται Δοξάσετε
