This place is starting to look like the crazy doorways in my house with cards of all shapes and sizes taped to them, fluttering whenever someone walks by.

Had to add my two cents, though. I was listening to the Thistle and Shamrock tonight, and what to my wondering ears should appear but Atwater Donnely's version of a lovely song called Winter Grace by Jean Ritchie.

Go to jeanritchie.com to see and hear her original, beautiful Christmas video.

Thank you, Jean. On a night for love and gratitude, you've reminded me of one of the most precious parts of my life: the community of mudcatters.

"to watch the stars for secret signs and God's true lessons learn".

Merry Christmas and love, all.
