Christmas lights
Yesterday we had a winter storm, today it’s raining on the snow. It’s Chicago. Need I say more?
I’ve been up awhile, cooking in the kitchen. Gotta go back to work, and then we’re going to my Mom’s house later this afternoon. Tomorrow my sons and families will join Rich, Daena (who flew in Friday during the previous winter storm – had to wait 2 hours for her luggage after a 1.5 hour flight), and I for our first Christmas Day celebration here.
Speaking of families, here’s this year’s Christmas photo of the grandsons…
As you can tell, the two 2-year-olds, Jack (l) and Ralph (r), weren’t thrilled to sit still. Ah, memories… :)
As we set our minds on Jesus’ sacrificial birth, I found this fun reminder of the reason. It’s much better in HD. View it here for that (see lower right of screen)….
Merry Christmas!
Jill Stanek is a nurse turned speaker, columnist and blogger, a national figure in the effort to protect both preborn and postborn innocent human life.
And a Merry Christmas to my favorite nurse!
Well, the video appears to have been removed from YouTube. Don’t get me started on youtube. ;)
But the picture is so cute!!
Merry Christmas, Jill, and thanks for all that you do.
Haha, you’ve gotta love the two year olds!I can just imagine what was going on behind the scenes in that shot! I see a lot of you in the two middle kids. It’s hard to tell with the little ones though, because fussy faced babies all tend to make the same fussy face!
There’s a lot of family resemblance goin on in that picture!
Merry Christmas to all who support the right to life of unborn babies!
Merry Christmas to all.
God bless you Jill for all you are doing. I have told a lot of my Christian friends about your blog, and the work you are doing.
Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas.

What “terms of use” could have possibly been violated? …? Yikes!
Sweet, sweet Christmas picture!!
Merry Christmas everyone!!
Happy Festivus folks!
Is today Festivus already? I haven’t even put up my pole.
@Hal: I have no idea when Festivus is actually supposed to be…I just say that instead of “Christmas” as I’m apparently not allowed to say “Christmas” and “Merry” in the same sentence for being a heathen liberal. :-3
Merry Christmas Jill, and to everyone! I hope everyone has a great time and stays healthy throughout the holiday.
Okay, this I didn’t know:
In 2008, a Festivus pole was erected in the rotunda of the Capital building located in Springfield, IL.
@Hal: That’s…amazing.
Anyway, Merry um…Christian Holiday That is Around the Winter Solstice folks! :)
@Hal: We missed Festivus- it was yesterday. :-/
The liberals have issues with merry and Mary. Whatever.
Merry Christmas everyone!
Merry Christmas HisMan!
And MK too, if you stop by to take a peak at us.

‘The liberals have issues with merry and Mary. Whatever. ‘
——————————————————
But the liberals are up for ‘gay’ [acronym for ‘good as you’].
Here’s wishing all of you a snowy Christmas, as long as you do not live within 50 miles of me.
‘Peace on earth towards men of good will.’
God bless us everyone.

O COME ALL YE FAITHFUL
O Come All Ye Faithful
Joyful and triumphant,
O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem.
Come and behold Him,
Born the King of Angels;
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord.
Adeste fideles,
Laeti triumphantes;
Venite, venite in Bethlehem;
Natum videte,
Regem Angelorum:
Venite adoremus,
Venite adoremus,
Venite adoremus Dominum!
Merry Christmas! Feliz Navidad!
Video is back. Merry Christmas all!
Dear God,
I hope it’s ok that my family is “rockin out” to Amazing Grace in a video of Christmas lights. If that is not ok with you, please forgive us.
We love you, God!
Your children
