Happy Holidays!

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah 2024.

This is what I hope for every Christmas… The answer is pretty simple.

Each day we want you to imagine a better world.

A world of peace in our homes, in our communities, and in our country.

Each day, we want you to imagine a world of equality, where no- one is discriminated against because of their religion, gender, age, sexual orientation, or beliefs.

A world where we build up each other and not destroy.

A world of hope.

But also a world where we help and build towards making this a reality.

To paraphrase the song:

You may say we’re a dreamers

But we’re not the only ones

We hope someday you’ll join us

And the world will be as one.”

Our little tree.

This is the first tree we’ve put up since Christmas 2022. Last year, well, we just weren’t up to it.

Hope everyone is in the spirit for this year’s Christmas. It’s going to be a rocky 2025.

I came across this the other day. I’m not spiritual, but I was raised to have some faith in the teachings of the Catholic Church (decades ago). This struck me as appropriate for the times we’re living in.

Nothing more to say except thanks for stopping by, Chris
