    TAKING DOWN CHRISTMAS!

  Tough day around my house. The 

process of taking down our Christmas

decorations and lights has begun. I

insist we wait until after Russian/Orthodox

Christmas each year but since it's over 

and my grandson and granddaughter were

available to help the take down has been

started. The packing boxes have been

moved from the shed to the porch. Jesus,

Mary, and Joseph. their outside statues

that is, have been moved from their bed

of straw and our inside nativity set has

been safely repacked. The outside lights

will be the next project as they'll have to

be unwrapped from the trees and bushes 

where they've been strung. I tries to convince

my wife to wait till the last of the Christmas

related holidays. That's Candle-mass, Jesus'

presentation in the Temple, which is set for

February 2nd. She wouldn't go for it, especially

since that date is also Groundhog Day! Hope

you had a great Christmas season and that all

your NEWS is good!
