May God grant you a merry
Christmas and a happy holiday – a happy holy day.
May you be filled with the warmth of his presence,
but may you also be just cold enough to welcome the warmth of a close friend.
May you love as much as you are loved.
May your laughter be filled with glee, with a child’s delight in the unexpected and marvelous.
May you know the awe and wonder of mysterious silences.
May you sing joyful and triumphant hymns of praise.
May God fill you with good things so that you will not be sent away empty.
May he lift you up.
May God grant you a merry Christmas, filled with love and joy and peace
(these are so much nicer than turtledoves and partridges in pear trees…).
May you know the unknowable God just as he knows you.
May you know the light and life he brings.
May the light of life dawn in your hearts.

repeating the endless wonder of his joy.

that a savior, our savior, has been born.

than merely the absence of conflict,
but a peace that passes all human understanding.
May God be with you and in you.
May God bless you today.

I recorded this for KJLY radio in Blue Earth, Minnesota. It should be broadcast this morning at about 8:40 AM. I thought I'd post it here for those who are not within the listening area of that station.
