Thank you all for making my Christmas brighter!

My last post before the Holy Night.

Ever since I know myself, I've always been very susceptible on the days around Christmas…
I hear a child singing, and I cry;
I listen to a Christmas song, and I cry;
I watch a movie, and I cry;
I think about Christmases of years long gone by, and I cry;
I remember my Mother when I was a child, and I cry;
I read some comments on this blog, and I cry;
I get any anodyne post or any simple e-mail, and I cry;
I'm writing these lines, and I'm crying…
I try not to, of course.
I just cannot help it.
I thank you all for making me feel alive again.
I thank you all for making my Christmas brighter.
I wish you all a

Merry Christmas!

Feliz e Santo Natal!

Para todos quantos me acompanham desde Julho.
Obrigado pela preciosa ajuda que me têm dado.
Sem o saberem, acredito.
Aos que são crentes, que Deus vos ajude.
Graças a todos vós, o Mundo ganhou novas cores.
Como estas imagens com que vos deixo.

A marvellous space for the Midnight Mass...
Um excelente espaço para a Missa do Galo...
