Happy 5th Day of Christmas!
Christ is Born!
Yes, we are still celebrating with zeal - even today as I dig myself out of a mountain of laundry. It's been a wonderful Christmas spent with family and church family. It was amazingly stress-free and joyful, thank God!
Here is a really moving video of an Orthodox Christmas Hymn in Arabic. It's translated in English with subtitles and has lovely graphics. Our own Fr. Josiah sang it (in his gift of a voice) during Saturday's service, but in English. It gave me chills - I wish I had that for you to hear! Enjoy!
ETA: The hymn was actually on Christmas Eve Day - not Saturday. Holidays tend to mix me up.
And just for fun - my kiddos love this video! Turn it up!
Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year, as well as upcoming celebration of Theophany - the Baptism of our Lord!

I love most of Sufjans holiday music...I started playing his cd's after Thanksgiving. I get so excited about Christmas! I'm glad we get to celebrate for so long afterward, though I like to leave the tree up until it begins to collect dust (I usually take it down sometime in February:)
Christ is Born!
Oh my goodness! James looks like a BOY! Your kids are so beautiful!!
Christ is Risen!
Our Blessings to you too! your children are like shining stars- beautiful and bright! Our love to all of you.
Merry Christmas! I can not believe how big James looks. Especially with Hannah bending down like that. Sounds like you are having a very blessed season.
thank you for that link to that hauntingly beautiful song.
Beautiful picture of the kids! They are growing so fast before our eyes. God bless you and Happy New year!
