If all goes well today, and barring any travel mishaps, everyone should be home tonight! The wee babes are coming over and we are babysitting while their parents go to a party. They will get their first look at White Christmas (1954) and can start storing that great dialogue away for future reference.

A momentous occasion to be sure!

We do not expect to have a white Christmas ourselves…

…but that’s okay with me. Maybe there will be a little “mood snow” as our favorite meteorologist Dave Murray calls it…

I’ll toast y’all tonight!

O God, our heavenly Father, whose glory fills the whole creation, and whose presence we find wherever we go: Preserve those who travel ; surround them with your loving care; protect them from every danger; and bring them in safety to their journey’s end; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. (BCP)
