Joy to the world!
For unto us was born this day
In the city of David,
A Saviour
Which is Christ
The Lord!
Christmas is here!
Glory to God in the highest!
And on earth, peace,
Good will toward men.
From my home to yours,
May your celebration be blessed,
Your gifts be many,
And your life be filled with joy!
And may the spirit of this day
Carry throughout the coming year!

And a Merry Christmas to you, your Ladylove, Moon the Dog, and your entire family, Grizz. Thanks for all of your beautiful, inspirational postings throughout the year!
Merry Christmas to you, Grizz!
Penny…
Thank you so much. I hope your Christmas was as wonderful as mine. Merry Christmas!
Evelyn…
A very Merry Christmas to you. Thank you for your nice comment. Hope you had a wonderful day!
Gail…
It has been a long and lovely Christmas day…and our guests have just departed. There's a fairly big snow on the way—6-8 inches, so tomorrow will be wonderfully white. Today was just a great day with family, including four dogs! Merry Christmas!
George…
Thank you so much for your always kind words and friendship. We've had a really great day here on the riverbank amid an abundance of food, family, and fun. That's really the greatest gift—to have another opportunity to spend Christmas surrounded by love. I hope your day was every bit as joyous. Merry, merry Christmas!
Robin…
Thank you. I thought about you up there in Chicago today, and hope you had a wonderful Christmas—one which filled your heart to the brim with a full measure of the season's special joy. Merry Christmas!
Best of the holiday season to you and your family, Grizz and the best in '13 !!
Bonifer...
Thank you, and Merry Christmas to you, too! Geeze, hadn't even thought about it soon being 2013.
Hope you had a wonderful Christmas, Grizz. Love how the branches of the pine tree are radiating out from the cardinal. Makes me think a little of a sunburst!
Kelly…
Thank you…we did have a truly wonderful Christmas.
Re. the pix—what you're seeing is the bottom (stump) end of last year's Christmas tree laid horizontally on the ground near several feeders, as a handy refuge from weather and hunting Cooper's hawks. I recycle my threes this way every year. BUT…did you also notice the white-throated sparrow just to the right of the cardinal?
Thinking of you, LadyLove and Moon.... Merry Christmas! Hope you're safe and sound, warm and dry by the river. We did not tempt fate coming to Ohio for our usual family holiday celebration; we figured the forces of nature were conspiring against us and we had better pay attention! Here's wishing you all there a terrific 2013!
Giggles…
We did have a wonderful Christmas.
And just so you know…you probably made a wise decision in choosing not to be on the road, particularly if you'd have had to travel yesterday (26th), as there was a fairly moderate semi-blizzard hereabouts. We received maybe 7 inches of snow, though nearby areas got up to a foot. The storm pretty much encompassed all the state and took up most of the day. Good road conditions today, however; temperature at the moment: 29˚F.
Various birds are busy at the feeder, five GB herons in sight feeding in the river. All is well along the riverbank.
Merry Christmas to you and yours! (Write when the spirit moves you.)
Ah, so glad to visit the Riverbank again! It is good look at your beautiful photographs and to read that you had a lovely Day. We at Necky Knoll House send our wishes to you for a nexcellent New Year!
Raph…
It has been too long between visits, indeed! The pleasure of your nexcellent company at the riverbank is truly mine. You are always welcome. May the New Year bring everyone at Necky Knoll House much happiness and adventure.
