And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone to them, and they were filled with fear. (10) And the angel said to them, "Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of a great joy that will be for all people. (11) For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ our Lord. (12) And this will be a sign for you: You will find a baby wraped in swaddling cloth and lying in a manger."

Things are good. We will be having a white Christmas with clear day and bright blue skies to go with it.
Amanda and Troy will be spending the day with her mom. Danile and Kevin will be spending it in Mass. Juan is in Carolina, and Arturo is speding his on a beach in the Phillpines.
Beth and I will be going to her sister Jane's house for the day.
So Merry Christmas to all of you.
PS hope that none of you have been effected by all the rain that California has gotten. In my thoughts and prayers.
Love Aunt Beth and Uncle Art.

CHIRSTMAS BELLS- HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW
I heard the bells on Christmas day
Their old, familiar carols play
And wild and sweet
Their words repeat
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
And thought how, as the day had come,
The belfries of all christendom
Had rolled along
The unbroken song
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
Till, ringing, singing on its way
The world revolved from night to day
A voice, A chime
A chant sublime
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
Then from each black, accursed mouth
The cannon sounded in the south,
And with the sound
The Carols drowned
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
And in despair I bowed my head
"There is no peace on earth," I said
"For hate is strong
And mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!"
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
"God is not dead; nor doth he sleep!
The Wrong shall fail,
The Right prevail,
With peace on earth, good-will to men!
it great to be a east coast meneses sport fan
this is the east coast meneses letting you all know that it's great time to be a east coast sport fan!!!!!

Hi everybody! Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and that you are still enjoying all those left overs. :) Not wanting to add to our misery of full bellies but I hope it's not to early to share the menu for our Christmas Eve get together. Christmas Eve is on Friday. Is 6:00 P.M. to early to start, or would 7:00 P.M. be better? Let me know. I thought we could all do comfort foods this year. So here's a list that could work:
-3 families can sign up for homemade soup, or (just let everybody think it's homemade soup.) -3 families sign up for sandwiches. -3 families sign up for salad. -3 families sign up for nice bread. -3 families sign up for vegetable/fruit trays. -And 3 families sign up for cheese balls and crackers.
I have an idea for Christmas cookies and candy, but I'd like to share that later. I'll provide coffee and cream, tea plates, plates, cups, and silverware. If some could bring instant chocolate packets that would be great. Some of us might have to sign up for a couple of things. So please start posting so we can all know who wants to bring what. Let me know what you think. (I'll make homemade Mexican chicken soup). One family down two more to go.
Love, Elvia
