Our Christmas Message To You All

To all my friends in J-Land, my family and I wish you a wonderful Christmas bathed in the love of your family and friends.

For those of you sick, I wish you the restoration of good health, for those of you down and depressed, I wish you upliftment of spirit, for those of you lonely I wish you to know that you are surrounded by the love of J-Land and above all by the love of God.  Let us all remember those for whom Christmas is a sad and lonely time, those with nobody to care and share.

MY gift to you all is my friendship now and always. It does not cost money, it does not come in fancy wrapping but it comes straight from my heart and my soul.

I want to share a special video with you.  Some of you have already seen it  from a posting I did on the Sisters In Christ journal.  Some of you might have seen it on YouTube.  It is a video I have played again and again.  I love the song and the words never fail to touch me deeply.

We live in a very material world, a troubled world, a world ever changing. Many forget the true meaning of Christmas - Christ's Mass - when we celebrate the birth of our Saviour.

That is central to Christmas, it is why we have Christmas and it is something we should remember, not just at this time of year but always.

So, please take a minute away from your preparations, away from any stress and strain and sit back and let the wonderful words and the wonderful message and images wash over you.

Once again, Merry Christmas my dear friends and readers.

Merry Christmas and a healthy New Year to you and your family Jeannette.
I have to say that since your warning about having our email addys cribbed, I have received much more spam than I normally get.  I can't see a way around it, so I just skim through all my received emailed sending it all into the spam folder as I go.  I don't know if this will prevent the same spam emails coming into my box or not :-/

All the best

What a beautiful entry and such fabulous graphics.  Of course I can't see that video or hear that song with tearing up a bit.  Your heart felt sentiments are shared and returned.  Merry Christmas to you and your family!

Jeannette, thank you for visiting my journal today... I loved the video about Jesus... whoever made it took scenes from several movies made recentyl, and I have them all. I especially love the song, Mary Did You Know... in fact, I used that same song to make a family video, but I'm not posting that one until tonight sometime...or tomorrow for January 1st. It's a little different than the video I made of our family all crowded in the trailer on Christmas Day. I'm browsing your journal as I haven't visited in a very long time. Now I'm feeling like a long-distance friend. there are so many friends out here, and on a daily basis, I couldn't get to them all... but I just came by to say Hi! and thank you and hope you are well. happy New Year. bea
