Please Let Me Help YOU Celebrate ‘Boxing Day’ — An Adorable Adjunct To Christmas.
Click to access a VERY informative YouTube video.
Click to access a YouTube video of ‘Boxing Day’ by U.S. ABC News.
‘Boxing Day‘, December 26, without fail, every year,
the day after Christmas
is a cherished holiday celebrated in many countries,
Great Britain, Canada, Australia, South Africa,
New Zealand, India, Sri Lanka, Jamaica,
Zimbabwe, Bermuda etc. etc.
It is a holiday that I adore.
So as I do each year, I SHARE it with YOU.
Dies Natalis Solis Invicti & Christmas 2015 Greetings To You All From I.
Christmas is a DOUBLE whammy for I.
I have celebrated Christmas, with gusto (and lots of presents),
ALL my life — my surrogate father
(a HUGE influence in my life)
was a ‘white’ Baptist lawyer (with no kids).
I made out like a bandit.
SMILE.
As the few of you who know me somewhat
kind of know I celebrate any and all
holidays with relish (and maybe even mustard).
But, I LOVE Christmas — MORE so since I have had kids.
So I wish you BOTH a Pagan greeting
and a Merry Christmas.
IF you don’t celebrate either,
WOW!
New Year is a LONG way away.
Br. César J. Tobón’s Inspired Christmas Greeting For 2015 With Pope Francis Homily From 2014.
Click to ENLARGE. Translations below.
Br. César J. Tobón, of Mexico, is ANOTHER of my valued Internet friends.
In 2014 he sent me this wonderful graphic ahead of the February 2014 consistory.
That was how we ‘met’. Then in 2015 he repeated the kind gesture for the February consistory.
Br. César J. Tobón has had the privilege of holding the Missal
for Pope Benedict XVI (#266) at a Papal Mass. q.v. below.
Here is the translation of the Pope Francis, December 24, 2014
homily quoted at the top of the greeting.
“How do we welcome the tenderness of God? Do I allow myself to be taken up by God, to be embraced by him, or do I prevent him from drawing close? “But I am searching for the Lord” – we could respond. Nevertheless, what is most important is not seeking him, but rather allowing him to seek me, find me and caress me with tenderness. The question put to us simply by the Infant’s presence is: do I allow God to love me?”
Click here for the entire original from the Vatican.
The words after that are “Best Wishes and Blessings” to his family, follow students, friend etc.
