Most of you have already taken down your Christmas decorations. I get to do that this weekend, not because I’m lazy (though I could understand if you thought that was the reason). Today is the Feast of Epiphany, the day when the Magi delivered their gifts to the New Born King, and technically the Twelfth Day of Christmas. We celebrate the day in Puerto Rico with a large feast during the day. As picky as my kidlets are, I will just make their favorites, and then we will sit down to watch The Nativity Story. After this week, I need a nice, quiet evening.
Thank y’all so much for coming to my little blog and blessing me, and may blessings be showered unto you in the coming year! 🙂

If those Eeeeeeeevil Neo-Cons and Tea Leaf Partiers hadn’t blocked the high-speed rail project, the Magi could have reached Bethlehem in twelve HOURS instead of DAYS.

Second the Nomstress’s comments above. Our lights are still up…I refuse to take them down before at least one good snow has graced us. Can you believe it? No snow in Northern Illinois yet, and we are into our 3 week of winter. (50 degrees or better 2 days in a row!)

Lord Jesus
may your light shine our way,
as once it guided the steps of the magi:
that we too may be led into your presence
and worship you,
the Child of Mary,
the Word of the Father,
the King of nations,
the Savior of mankind;
to whom be glory for ever. Amen.
May your year be filled with the light of love!

“…and may blessings be showered unto you in the coming year!”
and unto yours may like be shed.

Other friends of mine from PR have a very elaborate Nativity set. The creche is empty until Christmas Eve, and the three Wise Men are placed as far away in the house as possible and move a little closer each day until Epiphany.

We do the same thing! This year the Magi started on the second floor 🙂
