Claudia's Daughter

A detail from the lights in our main square, which are really tasteful, I thought, all gold and silver. Claudia taking a photo of her daughter inside the bauble.

Gratefuls:
- Mike has put our huge star up; we'll have it on a timer while we're away; it's certainly a light in the darkness
- Mike helping me in my English class; we learnt two good carols: "Away in a Manger" and "Silent Night", and I left them each with a slice of Christmas cake covered in marzipan I hurriedly made before the class
- Mike pruning our grape vines, so more sun can reach the bare patches in our "lawn"

Mary's Voice: Her response to being asked to offer her body for God's plan: "I am the Lord's servant," Mary answered. "May your word to me be fulfilled." Then the angel left her. (Luke 1v38) Here, the second episode.
