Just to lighten things up a bit...

...this is not one of my favorite Christmas songs but I thought it was funny.  Hopefully some of you will, too.  Don't feel bad about saying "Merry Christmas!"

 Here are the pictures I promised.  I took these before I sent the Bible in to Somerset.  I decorated the cover with lace, paper, and vintage rhinestones.

 I added some of my favorite verses inside the cover.

And decorated the place marker, too.
