I do mean to (and will) post a 'happy christmas' and general thoughts message at some point later, but for now, just to say congrats to Alice on the birth of her baby boy!!! There are no words to express the emotions produced by the phone call I recieved this morning just before our morning church service started! And how I managed to finish the gospel reading, (Luke 2v1-14); 'and she gave birth to her first born son', without crying or grinning too much! The whole day is changed (for the better!) and the emphasis shifted completely, making me understand just a small amount of the anticipation, joy and complete fear of those few hours in the stable 2000 years ago...

Merry Christmas all, may you find peace, joy and happiness this day and always. Today, which is only the start of the greatest story ever told.
