Merry Christmas!
Today, we'd like to quote Edmund Sears, a Unitarian pastor from Massachusetts who wrote the poem "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear" in 1849.
This is the last verse, of which we're particularly fond, especially on this day of celebration and harmony.
For lo, the days are hastening on,
By prophet bards foretold,
When with the ever-circling years
Comes round the age of gold.
When peace shall over all the earth
Its ancient splendors fling,
And the whole world give back the song
Which now the angels sing.
Merry Christmas, everyone. Hug the kids for us.
We visited the Mob Museum on our last visit. We saw that the museum is housed in the courthouse where the Kefauver hearings were held. I didn't think I was interested in that, so I didn't read about it while we were there. But later I began wondering about them. Who was Kefauver, what were the hearings about, and why were they a big deal?
