I wasn't going to post this morning (Christmas morning to me as of the date on this post), I really, really wasn't. But I couldn't let this one go by without comment, Wow. Does your paper publish on Christmas Day?    .

Those of us employed by Holy Mother Church work on many holidays. I celebrated mass for the Fourth Sunday of Advent this morning and will celebrate again this evening for the Eve of Christmas and again tomorrow for Christmas Day. To those who have "the day off" I wish a relaxed and peaceful holiday.

CapitalKiwi : Does your paper publish on Christmas Day?
No! We are reduced to watching CSpan or listening to radio to find out is anything hapened overnight.
Do your folk publish on Dec 25?
I took a short car ride this morning -- and streets were deserted . You could tell the house where children live -- lights were on! ONE store open the 7-11 where I picked up the "necessary" I'd forgotten : cream for the coffee! Suprisingly even at 8 a.m. it was pretty busy.
Are we at the computer because we have no kiddies at home?
wow

No, our papers figure there's no news in a fat man in an unlicensed sleigh being pulled by reindeer. It's happened before.
I'm taking the opportunity of a holiday to put a web site together. I'll be letting you all in on the url in due course ...

Good heavens--the Courier-Journal has published every
holiday in my lifetime, and probably before. There may have been one day, I can't recall for sure, that they didn't publish, due to some natural disaster or other.

Bother the news and the papers!  We have had two glorious days full of sunshine with hardly any wind. The Lakeladn Fells and the Pennines are topped with snow. Why waste all that by reading papers? The only news is disasters and unpleasant happenings, so I will put my head in the sand-bucket for a couple of days - time to catch up tomorrow. Can't resist a peep at AWAD, though Hope you all had an enjoyable Christmas day - and that Father Steve didn't find his work too onerous!

Happy St Stephen's day (as in "good King Wensilaus") or boxing day, as you will.
The weather in NY has been fine too, Friday, (Dec 22) we had just enough snow to make things pretty, with out making a mess-- and its been cold enough since then, that the trees and grass have keep their dusting of white, while the streets and walks are all clear and dry. It's been sunny, windy and crisp*.. temperature below freezing.. from about -1 c. during the day to about -5c. at night (30 f to 15 f)
But forgo my daily dose of the NY Times? its bad enough the delivery is late.. since the NY Times standard is before 7 am weekdays, but as late as 10 AM on sunday's and holidays... I am forced to have my first and only cup of coffee with a fresh crossword puzzle to do!
* I guess some might think these cold a bit more than crisp-- but i love weather like this. this was my wedding aniversary-- and my wedding day had the same weather-- except the snow was newer, having fallen late on christmas.. just enough to make everything dusted white, not enough to mess up shoes..

I'm with you on this one Of Troy. We are knee deep in snow here in Montréal and I love it. I love shoveling and cleaning off the cars and scraping the ice off the windshield. I love the bite of the wind on your face as you walk outside, and wearing heavy turtleneck sweaters, big floofy coats, scarves and hats and mittens. Ahhh, life is wonderful .

I hate the cold! I spent Christmas Day on a beach in temperatures between 35º and 40º Celsius, and loved that!
