It's Still Christmas - Day 2

 


And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying,
‘Glory to God in the highest heaven,
and on earth peace among those whom he favours!’

Luke 2:13-14

Pictured above is one of a pair of Christmas stockings in needlepoint, which depict Fra Anglelico's musical angels from the paintings in the Museo San Marco in Florence.

  1. Mimi, have you seen - or are you planning to see - the new Brad Pitt movie, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button"? Much of it was shot in New Orleans when I was still living there.

  2. WE, yes! I plan to write about it, too. We may go tomorrow. Have you seen it?

  3. Ruth, thanks. Those were half-price bargains from an antique store after Christmas, however, they are not old.

  4. Mimi, just saw your follow-up comment here - no, I haven't seen it. It caused my car wreck so I'm ambivalent about the film.
