O Holy Night, the Stars are Brightly Shining...

...somewhere the stars are shining, but here in New York it is overcast and the sky is filled with clouds. It seems that there are many nights and days that there are no stars and the sky is filled with clouds, especially this year. For too many people and in too many places the stars have not been brightly shining.

Beautiful Christmas tree at the Metropolitan Museum of Art...
 
 
But if you are concerned that darkness will be the theme of this Christmas post or any post in Buttercupland, that is not to be. I believe that on dark days we keep the stars of hope and light in our hearts. Let the light go forth from our hearts in our words and deeds to transform the world.
 
 
Wishes for a bright and blessed Christmas

What a beautiful tree that is. Yes this time of year brings a lot of darkness in the world but I believe there are times we need to make our own sunshine too. Merry Christmas !

FOGGY and rainy here. No white Christmas. LOVE that beautiful ANGEL Tree. "When it is dark enough, you can see the stars."

Beautiful!!! Just like you, Merry Christmas, Buttercup. No white Christmas here in western NY--only dark clouds, high winds and quite chilly.

Thank you for all the smiles you have given me through the year. Blessings to you.
