Merry Christmas to All!

Dear friends,

As I am spending time with my family on this marvelous Christmas day, I wanted to share with you one my favorite poems:

"Christmas Eve" by Christina Rossetti

Christmas hath a darkness

    Brighter than the blazing noon,

Christmas hath a chillness

   Warmer than the heat of June,

Christmas hath a beauty

   Lovelier than the world can show:

For Christmas bringeth Jesus,

   Brought for us so low.

Earth, strike up your music,

   Birds that sing and bells that ring;

Heaven hath answering music

   For all Angels soon to sing:

Earth, put on your whitest

   Bridal robe of spotless snow:

For Christmas bringeth Jesus,

   Brought for us so low.

Many blessings!

Rev. Gregory N. Baker
