Merry Christmas

Christ is once again a babe in Virgin Mary's arms, we are filled with love and hope, ready to meet loved ones for a magical special night. 

          Lord Jesus,  
Please forgive me for being so grumpy as I trudge through the never-ending tasks set before me this holiday season...

My to-do list seems to keep growing with shopping, parties, end of the year celebrations and family gatherings--- and I'm running short of time for you and the church!

Restore the joy of Christmas to my heart . . .
and help me to relax each day and make time for YOU-- my one true Source of Joy. 

Amen.

It's Christmas!

 

The year is about to end and today it's family time. 

Hope you all have a happy happy night, that the ones gone this year be present in your heart - not only today but always.

May you have a great time, as lovely as in the picture above but for us here in Rio

it'll be more like this:

And for me, totally like this: 

Merry merry Christmas!

Feliz, Feliz Natal!
