Merry Christmas, Everyone!!!

[Pete Hanlin]

Hey, I'm about to head out of the office and- since we have family coming in for the holidays, I probably won't get on OptiBoard until after Christmas has passed.

Soooo... Here's wishing all of you here a very Merry Christmas!

And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.Luke 2:8ff

That about sums it up, doesn't it? Here's hoping Christmas finds us all- in our pastures, with our families, during quiet times when we're all alone, or wherever we find ourselves this holiday season.

Thank you. I hope you have/had a very wonderful holiday season with all your loved ones. Your quote did bring home the real meaning of this holiday season for our house.

Since I'm part Irish, here's one from me

May the road rise up to meet you
May the wind always be at your back
May the sun shine warm upon your face.
The rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.
(and may you be ten minutes in heaven before the devil knows you're dead)
just my short version

Happy Holidays to all on the Optiboard. May each and every one of you find everything you want & need.
