Merry Christmas and may the Good Lord bless you and your families in the New Year.

For those who have lost loved ones and are faced with Christmas away from a dearly loved departed, may the Good Lord bring His peace and comfort upon you.

"God bless us, everyone." - T.Tim

Although some have called A Christmas Carol a secular story, it’s clear to whoever reads it carefully that without Christ, the "mighty Founder" of Christmas, there is no reason to celebrate.

As Scrooge’s nephew, Fred, explains, nothing about Christmas can be separate from "the veneration due to its sacred name and origin." This is what gives meaning to Scrooge’s resolution at the end of the story: "I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year."

If there’s hope for mean old Scrooge, Dickens is saying, there must be hope for each of us. Or, as Tiny Tim would put it, "God bless us, every one!"

The posters on the HSBBW are one of the reasons I'm truly blessed.

Merry-Merry!
