This is a small experiment in the blogosphere. "If you have no interest in what it's like to grow old, what follows is not for you. However, if it's going to happen to you, and the outcome is ultimately going to be negative, then finding a way to make the process as bearable, even as enjoyable as possible, might be worth a little attention."—from John Jerome's On Turning Sixty-Five

Aah, you forgot?
You missed Saint Nicholas' visit. Don't worry, be happy. There are always other opportunities to cash in. Christmas is coming. And then there is the Visit of the Three Kings in January. Seems to me I missed one or two, maybe they will come to me later.

The Twelve Days of Christmas
I hope my atheistic, agnostic and evangelical friends won't object too much as I stretch out the celebration of the Incarnation. Now that I think about it there are not that many in any of those categories. A website written by a Catholic Bibliophagist: The Twelve Days of Christmas is a natural to dip into at this time of the year, or at any time for that matter. And from there to other places on the Web. The bibliophagist mentions a number of children's books for adult and young readers.St Columba is a famous Celtic saint, highlighting "the importance of the Celtic church in bringing a revival of Christianity to Western Europe after the fall of the Roman Empire." I'm not sure the Celts are up to doing another revival, though it is sorely needed.

“In beholding old stones we may feel our anxieties about our achievements–and lack of them–slacken . . . Vast landscapes [and seascapes] can have an anxiety–reducing effect similar to ruins, for they are the representatives of infinite space, as ruins are the representatives of infinite time, against which our weak, short-lived bodies seem no less inconsequential than those of moths or spiders.”—Alain de Botton in Status Anxiety
