Dear Readers,
A most joyous and happy Christmas to you all. I could not be here without you, my friends. I, and all of us, owe a special debt to my mighty and kindly and loyal, most-generous patrons who have supported our efforts over the years. My most profound thanks.
We’ll catch up next week, on New Year’s Day. Meanwhile, enjoy the Holy Day, remembering we are celebrating when God himself was born a man. Why he did this, and even why we are here, I do not know. But as we are, you and I together, let’s make the best of it.
Merry Christmas,
Briggs

Merry Christmas Mr Briggs. Thanks for all the essays this year.
Merry Christmas to you Dr. Briggs, and to all ye faithful (readers).
A couple of days ago, I found myself listening to NPR. The male (sounding) voice said something about presents under the giving tree. YIKES!
Keep up the good work
And to you and your family Mr. William, the incomprehensible blessing in that outrageous gift of God’s love, His son, our Savior, Jesus the Christ!
Bah humbug!
Happy Christmas! \o/
God Rest Ye Merry, Gentle Briggs!
Don’t dismay, Christmas isn’t yet over, but rather just warming up. A Child is born in Bethlehem.
As the padre pointed out yesterday in his sermon, Christmas contrary to popular American custom does not begin the day after Halloween, but at Midnight of Christmas Eve, and goes Twelve Days, and then some, to Three Kings’ Day, the Epiphany.
