Well, since I drew a picture of the Holy Family, I decided to let anyone who wishes to see it. This picture is based on a picture I recently took of our family's nativity scene. It was done with #2 pencil on white printer paper. I will probably use the picture on my Christmas 'Thank You' cards.

First there was the Talking Christmas Tree (Howard Dean and Expedia.com). Today a new chapter in Christmas-themed crazyness has been added!

I give you "SnowDog: Jingle Bells!".

Merry X-mas
Season's Greetings
Happy Holidays

Hmm...

AHA!

Merry Christmas!

A front-page article in the St. Louis Review: Siblings Make Wristbands for Life

I will continue to update the 'PROLIFE Wristbands in the News' page as more stories/mentions come in. My sister and I are relying entirely on word-of-mouth for the spread of these wristbands, and it is encouraging to hear a kind word or two.

Have a Merry Christmas!

...and I'm excited.

Why? Well, that question can be answered a lot of different ways:

1. I will be opening presents tommorrow (greed).
2. I will be celebrating the birth of my redeemer tommorrow (joy).
3. I will be able to talk to my brother and some of my other relatives who I don't see too often tommorrow (socialization).
4. I will get to sleep in (first time in 4 1/2 months!) as long as I want tommorrow - I'm going to midnight Mass (in my cassock and surplice, nonetheless!) (relaxation).
5. I will have one less day of Christmas break, one less day of my Earthly life (bittersweet sorrow).

Greed. Joy. Socialization. Relaxation. Bittersweet sorrow. Those are the ingredients that make up my Christmas. I'm willing to bet that's about the same for the rest of my American generation. I'm not saying it's all bad, but we ought to find ways to focus less on the sorrow and greed, and more on the birth of Jesus Christ. Jesus is, after all, the 'reason for the season.'

Well, I actually did decide to make a few changes to my blog. I have removed the 'Macs and Apple' section, which is now located in a whole different blog, "Jeff's Mac Support Site Blog".

Besides that, I've also cleaned up the HTML on this site a little bit, and am now going to a Christmas party. Perhaps a picture or two will find it's way here soon ;-) .
