Merry Christmas! Have a Card!

Well, I still haven't done my Christmas Cards yet.

So Here's the Christmas Card you didn't get.

I got this far, I made this picture:

I thought I sent it to The Grand Lunar for his approval, but I think I sent it to his work email while he was home, so he hasn't seen it yet? Or he hates it and is too polite to reply.

My original plan was actually a real-cartoon hybrid, with our faces in the cartoon pic, but that takes a fair amount of time which I've squandered on knitting. :-)

Then we took these two real pictures yesterday at mom's. They're not bad.

So there you have it. The closest I've come this year to any Christmas Communication with the outside world. It's not quite the same as stamped and mailed, but you have to admit it's better than nothing, right? Just be glad you're a blog reader, or you'd number yourselves among the many who wonder what's become of us and think we've fallen off the face of the earth.

And if they happen to ever become REAL cards, and appear in your mailboxes, it'll be a bonus, eh?

Someday I will be a better communicator.

No, really. I'll send cards, maybe even on time. I'll not only remember birthdays (which I do now, most of the time) but also get gifts and send cards out in a timely matter. 'Cause what good does it do for me to think fondly of you if you never find out?

Okay, okay, enough of that.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

As you enjoy the time off this holiday, do remember the reason. For God so loved you, that He sent His one and only Son, that if you would believe in Him you would not perish, but enjoy eternal life with Him. For while we were still in rebellion against Him, and didn't even want His love and mercy, He chose to act to save us, to reunite us with Him, because of His love for us.

May His Name be glorified in all the earth! Emmanuel, God with us.

Have a wonderful day.
