Merry Christmas From The Llamas!

The Nativity, Antonio Allegri da Correggio (about 1530)

Regular readers will know that it's been a veeeery eeeeenteresting year around here, religiously speaking. However, no matter which way were are moving and which side of the Tiber we eventually find ourselves on, I think I'm right in saying that all of us Llamas would agree that this is the true spirit of the season:

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, good will toward men.

Luke 2: 8-14

Yes, indeed. It's come to the point where I can't even read that passage without getting an involuntary lump in the ol' throat.

Very best wishes to you and yours from all of us here at Llama Central. And I'll see you on the other side.

Yip! Yip! Yip!

YIPS from Steve-O: So beautifully said, the only thing I can say is, "Robbo, you a pirate."

Merry Christmas, y'all.
