My gentle and ever sinful flock! In spite of your refusal to send me any money for those in need *cough*, I will nonetheless wish you a very peaceful and happy christmas. May the New Year be filled with love, friendship and laughter. And may your jobs not be too stressful but rather satisfying - as is mine as your parish banker ... erm... priest.
Strongly recommended as uplifting holiday read:
Enjoy yourselves, everyone! And be kind to each other!
