Greetings and Merry Christmas!
Luke 2:8-14
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, goodwill toward men.
• Across my Desk!!
The first day of winter in the Northern Hemisphere is marked by the winter solstice, which occurs on Sunday, December 21, 2025
Wife texts husband on a cold winter morning: "Windows frozen, won't open."
Husband texts back: "Gently pour some lukewarm water over it and then gently tap edges with hammer."
Wife texts back 10 minutes later: "Computer really messed up now."
Why do math teachers have their desk at the corner of the room during winter?
It's always 90 degrees there.

Why did the art thief's van run out of gas as he drove away from the museum? Because he had no Monet to buy Degàs to make the Van Gogh.
Dallas: Why did the bacon laugh? Austin: I'm stumped. Dallas: Because the egg cracked a yolk!
At the North Pole: ❄️ It’s extremely cold and well below freezing, with temperatures around –30°F to –40°F (–35°C to –40°C) and mostly cloudy or clear skies typical of the polar night this time of year. The air is bitterly cold with light winds, and there’s a good chance of occasional snow or snow flurries.
In other words — Santa (and his reindeer) definitely need their winter gear tonight! 🛷✨
Birthchart for 12-24-2025: Born under a Capricorn Sun with a heavy Candy-Cane Ascendant 🍬, this chart favors responsibility right up until someone jingles a bell. Mercury is tangled in wrapping paper 🎁, making conversations heartfelt, slightly rambling, and prone to sudden carol-singing. Venus glows near the Fireplace House 🔥, encouraging cozy romance, nostalgic hugs, and pretending fruitcake is “actually good.” Overall, the stars advise slowing down, sipping something warm ☕, and letting joy take the lead—at least until tomorrow’s to-do list reappears. 🎄✨
• The Reader
Paige sits in her bright, clean kitchen at 7:30 p.m., the dishwasher humming like a mechanical lullaby. A glass of iced lemon water rests beside her notepad. Her pencil has bite marks from thinking—she denies this, but it’s true. She opens Mindmyst Tales on her laptop, eager for inspiration. Cinnamon candles burn on the counter, setting a cozy Christmas mood. The world outside is dark and still. She begins writing, jotting cooking-related thoughts as she reads.
• Math of the Week
This is why we do math.
For 2025, buying
one set of each of the 12 gifts from the carol costs about $51,476.12.
Here's a look at the cost for one of each gift:
1 Partridge in a Pear Tree: $420.18
2 Turtle Doves: $750.00
3 French Hens: $346.50
4 Calling Birds: $599.96
5 Gold Rings: $1,649.90 (up 32.5%)
6 Geese-a-Laying: $930.00
7 Swans-a-Swimming: $13,125.00
8 Maids-a-Milking: $58.00
9 Ladies Dancing: $8,856.88
10 Lords-a-Leaping: $16,836.14
11 Pipers Piping: $3,797.48
12 Drummers Drumming: $4,106.08
That list always makes me laugh—and wince—at the same time. 😄🎄
It’s amazing how a sweet little carol turns into a luxury spending spree once you total it up: the swans alone could buy a respectable used car, and those lords-a-leaping are clearly billing by the hour. Meanwhile, the maids-a-milking remain the best bargain in the whole song, proving that inflation has not been evenly distributed across the Twelve Days economy.
Moral of the story: if you’re shopping for Christmas gifts in 2025, stick with poultry and avoid aristocrats at all costs. ☕💸

• Thank you for stopping by!
Before you head out on those leaf-strewn roads, let me thank you for being part of the evening. The firepit’s glow, the hot coffee, the soup’s savory steam — it all feels better shared. Come back soon, when the season turns again, and we’ll pick up right where we left off.

• weather forecast
Meteorologists predict a light dusting of snow across Connecticut, accompanied by mysterious humming from beneath the ground.
Geologists call it tectonic tension — locals call it “Uncle Jerry’s chili night.”
Either way, keep candles handy.
