Let's start the annual Christmas-wishes thread with the traditional opening: a link to Alan Maitland's reading of Fredrick Forsyth's The Shepherd.

Happy Christmas.

And as Peg and I pause in our preparations, let me offer our wishes for the season with my own link, to a story read by the pastor of the church I grew up in at every Christmas Eve service all the years he served -- The Other Wise Man by Henry Van Dyke (as abridged by Donald J. Wolfram).

"...The Other Wise Man..."

Oh, Lawsy; I don't dare read that one nowadays.  It was one thing to get tears in my eyes when I was a teen, but fifty years later....

Mooses Gracious and Merry Christmas.

Official weather statement for Ottawa:

Quote:5:53 AM EST Sunday 24 December 2017
Special weather statement in effect for:

• Ottawa North - Kanata - Orléans
  
• Ottawa South - Richmond - Metcalfe
  

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the Ontario Storm Prediction Centre
Not a creature was stirring, except the meteorologists
As all eyes were transfixed on jolly Old St. Nick, his herd of furry friends, and an approaching snow storm just in time for Christmas.

So, for those dreaming of a white Christmas, you will get your wish. A Texan low is gathering strength this morning and will race towards us approaching the speed of Rudolph later today.

Merry Christmas to all!

It may not be Christmas-themed directly, but since many celebrate different traditions, here's something seasony from Gordon Lightfoot:
