Christmas, The Nativity, Mother and Child

Enjoy my Christmas e-card to you and Squidoo:

On Christmas Eve, Mary and Joseph are depicted entering the manger, weary, tired and cold. Great public domain art like this fill catalogs.

The US Library of Congress is one great place for public domain art. YouTube is handy.

The other photographs are by me for you. Some are photos of old favorite Christmas cards.

You can choose music to listen to as you read this card.

There is an e-card I made with a Bamboo mini app for Face Book.

I have sent you my Nana's Chocolate Meatball cookies, too.

Let's take a little journey for Christmas with this card. Visit The Nativity.

Buon Natale, as my Nana would say. My grandmother, or Nana, Concetta Muscarella Fricano, was born in Sicilia in 1898.

I tucked some more into the envelope, classic art, music, and surprises.

Bet you find some ideas to make cards of your own. Clip art, e-cards, traditional, as your holiday boat may float.

Christmas Eve: Mother and Child

Silent Night

The familiar phrase Mother and Child is in Silent Night.

Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night, holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia!
Christ, the Saviour is born
Christ, the Saviour is born

Silent night, holy night
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth "
