âThe magic of Christmas lives inside of you, always.â â James Barbato, The Magic Christmas Ornament
Have a blessed Christmas and please make a memory. My youngest daughter is keeping the memory alive this year, in honor of my husbandâs passing. He always made sure that we baked a birthday cake for Baby Jesus. Each year, as our children got older, he would incorporate them into the cake operation. On Christmas Eve, we would sing âHappy Birthday Baby Jesusâ with all the candles the cake could handle.
Let there be peace, love and joy
The Rev. Gerald Gurka of St. John the Baptist Church in Larksville has agreed to present our readers with a very special Christmas addition to this column. A huge âthank youâ to him because he is still recovering from two major eye surgeries that he recently underwent at Wills Eye Hospital in Philadelphia.
