O God, who makest us glad with the yearly remembrance of
the birth of thy only Son Jesus Christ: Grant that as we
joyfully receive him for our Redeemer, so we may with sure
confidence behold him when he shall come to be our Judge;
who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Ghost, one
God, world without end. Amen.

or the following
O God, who hast caused this holy night to shine with the
illumination of the true Light: Grant us, we beseech thee,
that as we have known the mystery of that Light upon earth,
so may we also perfectly enjoy him in heaven; where with
thee and the Holy Spirit he liveth and reigneth, one God, in
glory everlasting. Amen.

or this

Almighty God, who hast given us thy only-begotten Son to
take our nature upon him and as at this time to be born of a
pure virgin: Grant that we, being regenerate and made thy
children by adoption and grace, may daily be renewed by thy
Holy Spirit; through the same our Lord Jesus Christ, who
liveth and reigneth with thee and the same Spirit ever, one
God, world without end. Amen.

HOORAY for your son!!! Merry Christmas indeed! May God continue to protect him as he fights for our freedoms!

Thank you Michelle for this column/thread/discussion/item(?–I am so low-tech and behind the times). I especially like your reading from the Bible.

Shooter and Zorro: please add me to your group. First tentative suggestion: the USO. It helps servicemen and their families. Or were you thinking of a different direction? Maybe one of the organizations that focuses on care for the severely wounded and their families? Or there’s straight-forward disaster relief.

Maybe Michelle has a preferred choice, since we’re sort of borrowing her name here.

MERRY CHRISTMAS.

Thanks to our TROOPS commenting above, and everywhere, more than you can know.

Count me in Shooter. Merry Christmas.

OK ZORRO. We have a GROUP (of two so far)
Lets put on the thinking caps.
Something so everyone can participate. No money needed or very nominal, again to include everyone.
A completion date of what? 2-3 weeks? 6 months? next Christmas?
Something a few of us bloggers/commenters can do as a ‘group’…like for the homeless, the poor, our troops? women who suffer under misogynistic governments?
Ideas anyone/everyone?

Mary’s Christ Mas!

Happy Birthday, Jesus!

Of course, Happy Holidays to all who serve our country, at home or abroad, and their families. We won’t forget you, or what has been sacrificed for all of us.

I look forward to Michelle dropping knowledge bombs on the Fox News Channel in the upcoming year, because now I get to see it on my brand new Olevia 237T LCD HDTV! Michelle’s head will be five or six times bigger in my living room, let’s hope not in real life!

Speaking of knowledge, I also received some reading material this morning:

Surrender is not an Option by John Bolton

Lone Survivor by Marcus Luttrell

This has turned out to be a Merry Christmas for us in this household, all the best to all of you!
