Holiday Greetings to All!
Since I will, for the next couple of days, be busy finishing up the holiday feast for the JaBek1 clan, I want to take a moment to wish each and everyone of you, a very Merry Christmas, Yuletide Blessings, Shalom or whatever Holiday Wish is appropriate to your particular beliefs.
May there be PEACE on EARTH among ALL MEN!"

It's the women that worry me; while we men pursue peace they are plotting a takeover. ;)

There was every kind of Orthodox in the world all doing their own service in some corner or other, and I didn't understand a word. Greek, Coptic, Russian, etc, etc. I liked most that it was there to observe, and I didn't have to get involved. 12 days earlier at the Roman service on the 24th I would have been expected to sing a carol, or look like I was praying. Here I could wander round and compare and marvel at the devotion. Archbishop George had been invited to be part of the Greek Orthodox and after three hours they had got to the end of the preliminaries, bible readings and so on, and were about to go on to celebration of the mass, and at this point Archbishop George had to leave because they didn't regard him as a proper priest.

I often use the masculine when speaking of mankind. However, I should have said I wish All Mankind Peace.
