I am writing this as I wait for my two delayed-sleep-phase children to awakening  so we may begin Christmas Morning.

Here in the eastern Pennsylvania Mountains, we have had a overnight snowfall which has  at least left the ground covered, so that we can claim to have had a “White Christmas”. More snow is apparently on the way.

My gift to you this blessed morning is a somewhat secular though beautiful song, first performed by the Vince Guaraldi tri for the 1965 classis “A Charlie Brown  Christmas”. It is performed here by the incomberable Diane Krall.

Merry Christmas!
