I'm not a church person, but every year Christmas brings me to a church somewhere. Usually it's TG's, where she'll be singing the messiah with her chorus tonight and we'll be attending with two of the boys and some dear friends.
Two years ago, we were at Notre Dame in Paris, attending Midnight Mass and wondering at the idea that people have been doing exactly the same thing in exactly the same place for a over thousand years and in the same building for over eight hundred.
So Merry Christmas to everyone here. You don't have to be religious to embrace the spirit of the day - birth, hope, and renewal.
May your day be merry and your troubles light...

Here are some quick tips for adding simple Textile formatting to your comments, though you can also use proper HTML tags:
*This* puts text in bold.
_This_ puts text in italics.
bq. This "bq." at the beginning of a paragraph, flush with the left hand side and with a space after it, is the code to indent one paragraph of text as a block quote.
To add a live URL, "Text to display":http://windsofchange.net/ (no spaces between) will show up as Text to display. Always use this for links - otherwise you will screw up the columns on our main blog page.
