Christmas greetings to all my friends and faithful readers (with special thanks to all commenters back). I trust you’ve experienced a beautiful day and season.

This year we welcome the birth of grandchild number 16 (!), Lucas Asher Moore, born to Hyatt and Nicole, December 13 in Palo Alto, California.

Somehow it seems fitting to share such a photo on Christmas day.

Every baby is a miracle. But the one the world celebrates today was a gift to us all. It’s a story so simple, a child can grasp it. Yet it’s so profound, the wisest among us can only just begin to fathom its meaning.

Personally I’m somewhere in the lower category, but can look forward to an eternity of Christmases yet to come to begin to comprehend it.

Merry Christmas to you, with gratitude for our friendship.

    Yes, the greatest miracle was Christ’s birth and life.
    And the miracle of birth continues with the birth of your beautiful grandchild too – a real true Christmas present!

    Absolutely … the Really Real One loves us, and he invites each of us to have a joyous response to that love. So simple, yet who can comprehend it? “Oh, come, let us adore Him.”

    Thank you Hyatt and Ann!
    Very best wishes to you and your sweet and
    precious, growing family, especially today.
    In Greek I wish you ‘Καλλα Χριστούγεννα’! Merry Christmas!
    ‘Καλλα’- meaning ‘Good’ and ‘Xpistou’ for ‘Christ’
    and ‘γεννα’ – ‘is born’.

    Hello Hyatt and Anne! This was forwarded to me by the Aeschliman’s…a long friendship! And I am reminded of your dear Dad, so faithful with his very long and loving list numbering the “Grand’s” God has sent to him and to Betty. You are blessed! Lucas is blessed! I am blessed! Love, Jan Kropf
