Let the Christmas Gloria’s sound! May your Christmas Season begin with bursts of joy that soar and dance through the Twelve Days of Christmas.

Here, below, you will find two images for Christmas Morning and a performance of Vivaldi’s Gloria by musicians from The University of North Texas.

It was a great privilege to have shared Advent with you. We will be see you again in the New Year of 2020.

Yours sincerely,

Carol & Hank Reynolds

Peter Wood, After College: The Coming Cultural Collapse of Higher Education. “Students graduate with a veneer of knowledge rather than a core. An increasingly obsolescent institution has wedded itself to an increasingly noisome cultural stance.”
