May this blessed Christmas season bring you and your family joy! It has been a busy Christmas, starting even before I turned in my last (16 and 18 page) term papers at the Graduate Theological Union. So far, our adventures have included:
- Reading Charles Dickens‘ “A Christmas Carol. In Prose. Being a Ghost Story of Christmas” aloud with my Shakespeare Reading Group
- Hosting the Silicon Valley Lines and John‘s train club lunch group’s annual holiday party
- Dinner with my Education for Ministry class, after the Bethlehem pageant at Santa Clara First Baptist Church
- Lunch with the Interfaith Speakers of the Islamic Networks Group
- Shopping in Chinatown, San Francisco, with Sally Hambridge and Paul
- Receiving my certificate of appreciation from the US State Department for being a TechWomen 2019 mentor for Team Algeria (my 10th year as a citizen diplomat with TechWomen!)
- Dickens Christmas Fair day of music, high tea, and shopping with Jessica and Paul (including buying an amazing Christmas candle)
- Seeing the new Star Wars movie with John, Matthew, Jessica, and Paul
- Cheering on Paul for finishing the many Christmas orders for his reclaimed hardwood cutting boards
- Sitting with John and his teen video crew recording the Christmas Eve service at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church
- Bringing services to two Elmwood jail dorms with John on Christmas Day (on behalf of St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church and the Correctional Institutions Chaplaincy)
- Enjoying family, food, and gifts with John, Jessica, Matthew, and Paul at home on Christmas Day!
