Dear Vincent,
Methinks they need to come up with a special award like a mistletoe branch or holly bough, but something to award programs like the one presented last night. Last year's program was so wonderful, but last night topped it in many ways.

Never ever will I see another Santa Claus (as tall) without remembering him singing, "Havenu shalom alechem". The progam was so diversified and, considering that everyone had volunteered, came together in an anointed way. The Holy Spirit of Christmas was definitely "in the house" last night.

And you personally, Vincent Leinin, were the host with the most natural, unaffected manner, intent on showing the talents of your band of merry carolers to the fullest. The look on your face showed by whose influence you acted.
Love and advent-ly hugs
Anne

P.S. Thank you also for all the carnations!
