I'd like to wish all my New Calendar friends a very Merry, Happy and Blessed Feast of the Nativity of Our Lord Jesus Christ! My Old Calendar friends can wait 13 days!
Remember Jesus is the Reason for the Season! It is not 'Happy Holidays' or 'Seasons Greetings'! It is Merry Christmas! Not only keep Christ in CHRISTmas, keep the Mass in ChristMASS!
So, to my faithful readers, to all my relatives, real and 'adopted', assorted spouses, children, grandchildren, friends in real life and online friends all over the world, MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Christus natus est nobis! Veníte, adorémus! Felicem natalem Christi!

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
