I am being sentimental …

But, in this moment, the joy is real.

You know, I love Christmas as an occasion for joy and Merry making, not as any concern whatsoever to things religious or Church routine.

So here’s to you, Dear Reader, wherever you be on the planet : don’t let anything interfere with how you wish to find your joy and put the merry making together for yourself and your loved ones, and for the strangers who join in.

I look at this spread herebelow and feel its rise within me … Merry Christmas to You !

Let your cheer extend to usher in the New Year !!

And may your happiness continue through the days and months that follow !!!
