A World Wrapped in Icicles

A world wrapped in icicles, doomed to dark night, has suddenly been dazzled by holy white light! A Son born of Mary and laid in the straw has come to deliver, to usher in thaw.

A world wrapped in icicles,

doomed to dark night,

has suddenly been dazzled

by holy white light!

A Son born of Mary

and laid in the straw

has come to deliver,

to usher in thaw.

      Thank you! I’ve got a nice little one set for tomorrow – not sure if I’ll be around or not. Merry Christmas to you, Caddo!

        Well, if Mozilla Firefox keeps crashing while I’m on my blog Reader (and nowhere else in the universe), I may not be back at all… I’ve zeroed out my patience account, and am well aware that there are bloggers who won’t read/comment at CV until I read/comment on their blog. So I’m feeling distinctly un-Caddo-like. Nonetheless, I’ll be thinking of you and your family!

        You just need to reread your own Sunday post, and get those dance shoes back on! 🙂 (Although I have been known to think very violent thoughts when thwarted by technology myself… Grr…)

    ,” if Mozilla Firefox keeps crashing while I’m on my blog Reader (and nowhere else in the universe), I may not be back at all…’ This comment is the shining light on your post today. I nearly went crazy yesterday with Firefox crashing on my blog Reader. I thought it was just me!

    1. melodylowes

      Nope – apparently Firefox is an equal-opportunity crasher! 🙂

      1. Gallivanta

        Indeed. And I was so vexed and sure it was my computer’s fault that I thought I would need to buy a new computer.
