Well, we finally had our real Christmas on the day after Christmas. Because of the bad weather here in Tulsa we did not have Christmas with my Mother-in-Law Nana even though we were just a few miles apart. So we had our own Yogi family Christmas and it was fun but our hearts were heavy because Nana was by herself.<\/p>\n

So this morning I loaded up my snow shovel and ventured over to her house and shoveled her driveway and front porch. Loaded her up and brought her home. Things were immediately better. SuperPizzaBoy especially was missing his Nana.<\/p>\n

We exchanged gifts<\/p>\n

Sweetie who had been cooking and setting the table put it all on the table.<\/p>\n

And we sat down to finally have our Christmas Dinner.<\/p>\n

You know exchanging gifts and all that good stuff is nice but sharing meals and visiting on Christmas the best part. Nana got me a set of disks that have all the National Geographics since 1888 on it. Below is a picture from their June 1959 issue showing a German family hosting some American Servicemen. Hopefully NG won’t mind me sharing the photograph with you.<\/p>\n

Oh, I love the tree, the candles on the tree, the little candle windmill doodad, the cradle and the guy playing the violin. You know, when I was a kid it was ok to have trees that were not so darn bushy!<\/p>\n

I’m digressing, its Sunday and its time for a Bible verse. Since it’s after Christmas I’m going to use one concerning the birth of Jesus, after he was born, when his parents took him to the temple to be circumcised in accordance with their beliefs.<\/p>\n

“25<\/sup>Now there was a man in Jerusalem called Simeon, who was righteous and devout. He was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. 26<\/sup>It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not die before he had seen the Lord’s Christ. 27<\/sup>Moved by the Spirit, he went into the temple courts. When the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for him what the custom of the Law required, 28<\/sup>Simeon took him in his arms and praised God, saying:
 29<\/sup>“Sovereign Lord, as you have promised,
      you now dismiss your servant in peace.
 30<\/sup>For my eyes have seen your salvation,
    31<\/sup>which you have prepared in the sight of all people,
 32<\/sup>a light for revelation to the Gentiles
      and for glory to your people Israel.””<\/p>\n

Luke 2:25-32
NIV<\/p>\n
