Merry Christmas 2009 from the Nightmouse
       
      Madalyn,
      Thanks for the info about how you helped to get Dad started in painting.
      I got to listen to Silver Bells several times while reading your email, thinking back, and writing this.
       
      All family and friends,
      Dad loved Christmas, despite his lack of what most people consider Christianity.
      He seemed almost puzzled one year when I got teary eyed while watching "Jesus of Nazareth."
      I bought it a few years ago, and it's one of my Christmas celebrations, though it's a long movie.
      The tree got flooded, but I like to put a single candle in a window on Christmas eve.
      It's a simple symbol, in honor of the Star of Peace.
      Who knows who he was, but I sure wish I could've spent a day with him.
       
      I think this is the painting you mentioned. Thanks for getting me back to the web site after three years.
      Love to all,
      Doug and the Nightmouse
