It’s Christmas all over the world. The Sticky Bottle Team blog has enjoyed
readership from many parts of the globe and we want to wish all of you a very
Merry Christmas.
The American classic “A Charlie Brown Christmas” is highlighted by
the character of Linus with his poignant reciting of the second chapter of the
Gospel of Luke to children gathered in a small school auditorium. Luke’s Gospel is a joyous telling of the
birth of Christ for it quotes the heavenly angels who declared that they were
bringing “tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.” We here at the SBT wish all people a holiday
season and New Year filled with great joy and happiness.
Luke ends the story with “on earth peace and goodwill
towards men.” A world with greater peace
and goodwill to all of the world’s people is our greatest wish and we think of
the Christmas carol “Little Drummer Boy” and the verse that hopes for peace
“for your child and my child too.”
May peace be with you--as you, like many of us--reflect happily on
the memories of those we have lost while we hold in good faith the promise of
our families and our future days. May
today bring you all joy, family fun, quiet solitude, and clear wonderments. May you be graced by the calm presence of
holy angels no matter your faith.
Thank you again for reading this blog. Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New
Year.
Merry Christmas to the SBT!
