Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays / Season's Greetings! "[An angel of the
Lord said,] 'Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you;
he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby
wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger." Suddenly a great company of
the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,
'Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his
favor rests.'" --Luke 2:11-14. Another known human death again. That's 4
in total for this yr. & 2 many (6? total) for this decade so far. :~(
