Leonard & "Silent Night"

[Actually]

Ice work by Eija

That's amazing! Something so transient creates an atmosphere of a special beauty and tragedy at the same time.


I really hope the two of you are having relaxing and exciting as well as peaceful and joyful holidays with exactly the right amount of family and friends around to feel comfortable!


Of course, this goes for all the nice people I got to know at the shows and through this forum.

Jarkko, thank you for the lovely Christmas gift, ice from Eija and silent night from Leonard ! Must be Jennifer Warnes with him, and that gorgeous violinist Raffi Hakopian ? A treat to find this tonight.
Thanks for all your work and Happy Christmas to you and to all forum people !

Thank you Jarkko, that is wonderful. Merry Christmas to all forum members, I hope to see many of you in 2010, if not in Moscow, then back in Canada when he returns home (as I surely hope he will).

Thanks for sharing both Eija's beautiful sculpture and Leonard's lovely song with us Jarkko. Peace and happiness to you both and to all forum members for the holiday period and the new year.

What a beautiful version of Silent Night, thank you. I'm not normally a fan of Christmas music, except of course the Pogues Fairytale of New York!
Now, the icing on the cake would be an announcement of a Cohen concert or three in Ireland in 2010!!
Happy Christmas everyone!

Love to everyone on the Forum xxxxx

Thank you, Jarkko, and thanks for everything.

Another lovely ice sculpture, Eija:-) Looks like a hubble pic of a star being born.

Happy Christmas everyone.

Merry Christmas - or Happy Chanukah - to everyone on the Forum! And thank you, Jarkko and the moderators, for keeping this wonderful site working so well - and thank you, Leonard, for your art, your wisdom, your kindness and for being an inspiration in so many ways!

[Boss]

Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy Kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
the power and the glory,
for ever and ever.
Amen


A beautiful soul said this
Merry Christmas,
Boss
