Our Christmas Feast
and Our Christmas Blessing
This year, with so many of our fellow Americans having a difficult Holiday Season, we are exceedingly grateful for the gifts we have in our lives. Our work every day with those less fortunate is an ever present reminder that the world is a capricious place and there but for the grace of God go we.
Our Christmas Mircale is that our lives our filled with love, warmth and good cheer.
The traditional Christmas Pudding is lit in to symbolize God's passion for humanity
(plus the flaming Cognac adds a bit to the taste).
Our Christmas wish is that the light of tolerance, love and hope illuminates the darkness of fear, hate and dispair for a better world.
