    Jeff. Beautifully done—music I have just shared with my family gathered under our Christmas tree on a late evening Christmas Eve on the Pacific coast in southwest Washington.

    Thank you, Jeff, and Merry
    Christmas to you and your family.

    Jeff, you remind me to practice my part for our festive prelude to Christmas Mass in the morning. Good thing you practiced these tidings of comfort and joy so well earlier. Have a Merry Christmas!

      Thanks Roy and I will look forward to that. I have fond memories of “Tucson Sunday morning” which could be a massive hit Stateside. Hope you have a lovely day.

    You’ve also regaled Nouakchott, Mauritania, Jeff. Thanks for the festive contribution to Christmas here.

      And best wishes to you Paul. I now know of Nouakchott, a great “What is the capital of Mauritania” pub-quiz question if ever there was one. Best wishes to you and yours out there.
