Merry Christmas APS Family! Love to you all!

It's been a great holiday so far. All three of my kids are here! Also, Avenger and my daughter seem to be getting along very well.  =D  :-*
The boys are on duty making sausage balls then we're headed to a good friend's house for the annual oyster roast.

Hope you're all having a wonderful day with those you love!

I wish you believed in leaving Christina Hendricks under my tree. 

If I had the power to leave Christina Hendricks under your tree, I'd keep her for myself!

Merry Christmas, everyone.  And stay safe out there, Freakazoid.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin

"so I ended up getting the above because I didn't want to make a whole production of sticking something between my knees and cranking. To me, the cranking on mine is pretty effortless, at least on the coarse setting. Maybe if someone has arthritis or something, it would be more difficult for them." - Ben

Merry Christmas and a happy holiday season to all!
For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

T. S. Eliot reads A Song For Simeon

Something I stumbled across years back, and love.  Possibly here, Elliot's voice gets in the way of the poem.

Quote
   Lord, the Roman hyacinths are blooming in bowls and
    The winter sun creeps by the snow hills;
    The stubborn season has made stand.
    My life is light, waiting for the death wind,
    Like a feather on the back of my hand.
    Dust in sunlight and memory in corners
    Wait for the wind that chills towards the dead land.

    Grant us thy peace.
    I have walked many years in this city,
    Kept faith and fast, provided for the poor,
    Have given and taken honour and ease.
    There went never any rejected from my door.
    Who shall remember my house, where shall live my children’s children
    When the time of sorrow is come?
    They will take to the goat’s path, and the fox’s home,
    Fleeing from foreign faces and the foreign swords.

    Before the time of cords and scourges and lamentation
    Grant us thy peace.
    Before the stations of the mountain of desolation,
    Before the certain hour of maternal sorrow,
    Now at this birth season of decease,
    Let the Infant, the still unspeaking and unspoken Word,
    Grant Israel’s consolation
    To one who has eighty years and no to-morrow.

    According to thy word.
    They shall praise Thee and suffer in every generation
    With glory and derision,
    Light upon light, mounting the saints’ stair.
    Not for me the martyrdom, the ecstasy of thought and prayer,
    Not for me the ultimate vision.
    Grant me thy peace.
    (And a sword shall pierce thy heart,
    Thine also).
    I am tired with my own life and the lives of those after me,
    I am dying in my own death and the deaths of those after me.
    Let they servant depart,
    Having seen thy salvation.

    - T.S. Eliot


(This here is the Nunc Dimitis I actually recall singing.)

In thy presence is fulness of joy.
At thy right hand pleasures for evermore.

Clearly, there's a meme I've missed.

And I even looked for missing letters.

There's a little song that might help you with the alphabet.  Perhaps you'd like one of us to teach it to you.   >:D
It's sung to the tune of "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star."
