"Then by abiding in God in mind and heart, endeavor to fulfill in body the duties and affairs which your station in life imposes upon you." Theophan the Recluse
"Everything you do, all your work, can contribute towards your salvation. It depends on you, on the way you do it. History is replete with monks who became great saints while working in the kitchen or washing sheets. The way of salvation consists in working without passion, in prayer…. May God give you the strength to keep your spirit, your mind, and your heart in the spirit of Christ. Then everything that happens to you can very quickly be radically transformed. What was tiresome and discouraging will disappear, transfigured by your desire to be there where Christ your God is." Elder Sophrony

Glorify Him!
I find that quiet and still is my very favorite way to celebrate the Nativity.
Hugs to you. Stay safe in the snow.
Glorify Him! And happy new year as well!
