Electronic Christmas card to family and friends
Merry Christmas, from Wuhan China!
It's Christmas Eve morning here in Wuhan as I post this...and to my family and friends who are completing Friday afternoon as I type, I thought I'd send a note...an electronic "Christmas card" of greetings to those I've temporarily left in America. Although there's no photo—can't afford the bandwidth to post--in keeping with the traditional Christmas card, I've written my message below as the "inside" the virtual card you're reading.
I've been drawn to Luke's account of Christ's birth and how the true meaning of Christmas began with the message the angels gave to the shepherds:
"Don't be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord...Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angels, praising God and saying, 'Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests." (Luke 2: 10 -14 NIV)
Regardless of where we are in the world today, Christmas remains the same: it's all about Christ's birth. So, my heart felt wishes to all as we embrace this Christmas time spent in spirit with family and friends, no matter how far apart we may be.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Tyler, Mr. Cody, if I could find him,sends his Greetings. He hides a good deal of the day, and I am unclear as to where. I think it may just be under the bed, as that is the only spot, I have not searched. Out of respect for his privacy,and rest, I have not. We do not Acrobats, but Cody does like to race through the living room, chasing a cat.....who is outside. I attended the movie Munich last evening, a Steven Spielberg opus about the 1972 Olympic murders of Israeli athletes. It was quite powerful. Tonite it is off to Kate and Willie's and Christmas, Cody and I are working on notes at your desk, if he can fit it into his schedule. I do, Skip and Cody
