    Merry Christmas Xanga







    Christmas EDIT, I have never witnessed a miracle but that doesn’t mean I don’t believe in them.  The story I am guiding you to is a testimony to a small miracle I thought you would enjoy reading about.  The original link has disappeared so I put it on my own site.  Masters Degree CLICK HERE


    The cartoon Ice Age CLICK HERE is one that never caught my interest but it was on television this evening and I watched it and it was captivating.  Very nice little story that fits the season.  I enjoyed it. 








    Christmas, the season of Giving, Loving, Remembering and Joy if you allow it to filter in.  Merry Christmas and Happy Holy Days to all friends of many faiths celebrating all the Miracles of our existence.  At this time of year I realize Channuka and Kwanzaa celebrations are just around the corner along with Christmas.  Happy Channuka and Happy Kwanzaa also. 


    Some pages to share AND they are favorites of mine because of QUALITY GRAPHICS, QUALITY PAGE DESIGN and EASE OF NAVIGATION …


    For ECards you can’t find a finer artist than JacquieLawson.  From England, she charges a minimal fee for her beautifully animated cards.  If you aren’t familiar with her, you need to check her out.


    I also enjoy the cards from RiverSongs animated cards and Care2 is a great place to find cards plus make free donations to help the world and its wildlife and more.  SugarQube, animation cards that are very different, give time for them to load up.  Native American, a simply done, no nonsense ECard site with easy to load ecards.


    Christmas Pages 


    1- The Biblical Story of Christmas
    2- My favorite Spiritual Christmas Card  has SOUND ON ALL
    3- My Favorite Nostalgic Christmas Card
    4- My favorite fun Christmas Card  and another 


    For Channuka and Kwanzaa pages I know there are more knowledgeable people within Xanga to guide you but here are links for all about Channuka and Kwanzaa.  The ECard sites I listed do carry cards for these celebrations. 



    I am no Jacqui Lawson but I enjoy playing with graphics as much as she does AND …  


    This may be primitive



    but it is a desktop I designed for my family for Christmas.  Click on the graphic to see us up close and personal.  The Nativities are taken from Museum Old Masters works of art.  I sent a modified version to my daughter including her husband’s family and I have uploaded plain ones you can collect and add your families portraits to if you want to.  Click on the size you want to collect, 800 x 600 and 1024 x 768


    I am keeping up my photo site.  My photography is important to my well being and the challenge group helps to motivate me.  See a lot of my photography on my PhotoGraphics site.


    I hope everyone has wonderful holidays and that each of you stays safe and well.  I am trying to visit but know I will miss some of you and am sorry for that.  Just know I do care about all of your wellbeing.  I try hard to remember so many in one big fell swoop when I am doing my thoughtful thinking.


    One more thing, Computers are many things, expensive, exasperating, and at times embarrassing.  I have been embarrassed by a computer breakdown leading to my having to transfer a ton of files to another computer.  The Embarrassing part, this transfer included the importing of my email address book which when done it threw a lot of addresses I had saved but not used into unexpected places I wasn’t aware of until someone I am not necessarily in touch with asked me to please remove them from my address book.  I apologize for my sends to parties unwilling to receive and I have gone thru my book carefully to remove any names I believe probably prefer not to receive my emails.  That should take care of it until the next computer disaster.



     


    Keeping Christ in Christmas,
    LittleEgypt aka Becca

  • What a wonderful post Becca! I loved it, and am saving some links to fav’s.

    Have a blessed Christmas, and a healthy happy New Year.
    Thanks so much for all you have shared with me this year. I have so admired your grace, your eloquence, and your compassion this year.
    I hope to discover more wonderful things about you in the coming year.

  • Thanks for the card info. I use the Lawson cards and they are worth the $8 fee and now with membership there is free access to another artist’s selection of cards. Also thanks for your Christmas tree. Merry holidays.

  • Great graphics work here. How does a sailor get a date with that good lookin’ number in decoration number…

    Happy holidays my lady!

  • Thanks for all the info. I have been meaning to subscribe to Jacqui Lawson so this will be on my ” to-do ” list for 2006. You are a “ whizz-kid ” on the computer. I wish I had your talent.  A very happy and holy Christmas to you and your family. Marie BTW The Catholic church here gives out posters saying ” Put Christ back into Christmas ” over a Nativity scene.

  • Becca I thank you for your kind wishes for Christmas

  • The family tree is precious!! I love the poinsettia background too. How rich and inviting!! Merry Christmas, friend!

  • I don’t kow if you have seen it yet– but The Family Stone
    really captures a feeling by starting the movie off with the best
    montage of old-timey Christmas cards… with which they added
    a seeming computer-gif effect (e.g. the snow looking like it’s falling, 
    the sun’s rays shining– you get the idea). It’s a wonderful wonderful
    movie by the way. I laughed my ass off and boo-hoo’d several times.

    Merry Christmas, Becky.

  • Merry Christmas to you, Mom and Dad Aack, is that ME in that photo? hehehe

    We’re trying to have a nice Christmas, here. We were off to a poor start, but I’ll tell you about it later. Now, we’re snuggling up for a day of relaxation and movies. I hope to talk with you later.

    Love,

    Halie

  • Merry Christmas!

  • I just printed out the Masters Degree story to read while we’re relaxing in the living room. We’ve just finished eating a wonderful dinner, that Mitch pretty much cooked all on his own, and are now waiting for a ready-made cherry pie to heat up in the oven. Thanks for helping us make this Christmas special.

    Love, Halie

  • I guess the value of servers with built-in reduncies (RAID, multiple CPUs, backup strategies, etc.) are made evident by the computer breakdown you had.  If only they could make our regular PCs and laptops that resilient.

    Merry Christmas.

  • Did I tell you Mitch and I found a giant tree-sized poinsettia growing in a school yard near our home? We couldn’t believe it. It even manages to stay in bloom much of the time. I wonder if it’s not really a poinsettia but something that looks just like one.

    I’ve updated with pics

    Halie

  • Merry Christmas!

    Peace.

  • I hope you had a wonderful Christmas.

  • Hi there. Thanks for accepting me into your blog ring. Once the holidays wind down & my guest leave I will be back on track with more time to write, read other posts & comment. I hope you are enjoying your holidays. Happy 06. ~Stephenie
